Talk:Language of mathematics

message: Do you know of any book, in which the meaning all mathematical symbols is explained as well as their grammatical use?

thread_title: Mathematical symbols

message: This seems suspect without support. Original research, Sokal-style hoax? Also has weaselly "perhaps". This needs citation and explanation.A Geek Tragedy 16:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: [[Category theory]] and [[Chomsky]]

message: Actually quite a lot of the article looks like original research. There are some real issues that need adding raised in philosophy of mathematics, about e.g. whether mathematicians can understand each other when talking about transcendental numbers, infinite sets, etc. Ben Finn 17:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Patchy article

message: Informal expressions between humans are to be expected. However, this text has poor examples:
:When mathematicians communicate with each other informally, they use phrases that help to convey ideas. Examples of some of the more idiomatic phrases are "kill this term", "vanish this interval" and "grow this variable".
It may be reassuring to some readers to see that mathematicians can handle informality, but the given expressions are not familiar.Rgdboer (talk) 20:10, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The article states: "try reading Maxwell's equations out loud". WTH? You can definitely read Maxwells equations out loud. 
:\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B} = 0  It reads: Magnetic monopoles do not exist

message: Let me make this easy for you:
:numbers are nouns
:+ - * / ^ = are verbs (= means "is")
:&  v are conjunctions

thread_title:  Nouns, verbs, and conjunctions 

message: The whole article is non neutral, and this biased presentation starts from the first sentence: . This sentence reduces mathematics to the communication of ideas, while most mathematics texts consists of the presentation of results, which is completely different. 
If "the langage of mathematics" exists (I am not sure of that), an acceptable  first sentence would be  I am sure that most people who know mathematics would prefer this formulation.
The article is alredy tagged with . I will further tag it with .
As the whole article is build on this wrong first sentence, there is nothing to be salvaged in it. D.Lazard (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I WP:PRODed this articled, and the prod tag was removed by another editor. This removal was a good thing, since there are almost 50 incoming links to this article. Another editor has removed most of the irrelevant content. I rewrote the remainder of the article. Nevertheless the sections  and  present non-neutral points of view, and should be discussed further.

replies: text: Since the article has been rewritten, should the PROD be updated to say it has been kept? I definitely think this is one of the most important possible articles Wikipedia can have, especially for mathematics, and it is seriously underdeveloped (as is the study of the language of mathematics itself). In which case I would obviously argue for a strong keep. KingAntenor (talk) 10:33, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Areas of improvement
Organization Wise
* Change the location of understanding mathematical text. This section appears to explain the background information needed to be able to understand the topic. As result, it should go first and be integrated within the definition paragraph.
*Change the location of features. This section appears to discuss distinguishable characteristics related to mathematical language. Therefore, it should proceed the understanding mathematical text section due to it being an extension of the topic.
Content Wise
* Introduce additional perspectives on the topic. Williams is the only individual that is currently mentioned. This formulates a very limited, restricted, and single-minded view.
*Find a clear focus. The article is currently confusing, hard to read, and contains lots of complex language It would be more helpful if the information was broken down and interpreted further.
Grammer Wise
* Add citations. There is a high volume of citations missing within the article. This makes it difficult to know where information is coming from. The article still sounded very rooted in the original research's language instead of being rooted in the meaning of the research.
Areas of Strength 
* A definition is provided. Readers can gain an understanding of the topic before diving into the rest of the article.
* Examples are provided. Readers can learn about what these specific aspects that are associated with the topic look like.
* Additional reading. Readers have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and or learn more about the topic. Exploration and research are encouraged.
