Mathematics as Language

Mathematics is just another language – granted it is a highly complex language – but a language it is.  Just as ordinary language attempts to put into words thoughts, ideas, and “reality” – mathematics tries to do the same with a different set of symbols for the “words”.  The reason that the language of mathematics is so complex is because each individual field of study, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Analysis, is like a complete language such as French or German in itself.
