CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS
- The language of mathematics makes it
easy to express the kinds of thoughts that
mathematicians like to express.
GOLDEN RATIO
- According to Ivanka Stipancic-Klaic
and Josipa Matotek of the It is:
University of Osijek, Croatia, the 1. precise (able to make very fine
Golden ratio fascinates and intrigues distinction)
not only mathematicians, but also 2. concise (able to say things briefly); and 
artists, architects, biologists, 3. powerful (able to express complex
philosophers and musicians. thoughts with relative cases).
 Vocabulary vs. Sentences
 Every language has its vocabulary (the
words), and its rules for combining

from? Let us do some derivation for (the sentences).
the value of “phi” pronounce as “fee”.   Mathematics is no exception.

 Vital for the development of
Mathematics proficiency.
 Enables both the teacher and the

DEFINITION OF TERMS
 COMPLEX NUMBER – is of the
form a + bi where a and b are real
numbers and i= √ -1. A complex
number is sometimes called Gaussian
integer.
 REAL NUMBERS – is a value that
represents a quantity
continuous line.
 IMAGINARY NUMBER – denoted
by i, is the result in taking the nth root
(where n is even), of a negative
number, where ±  i = √ -1
 IRRATIONAL NUMBERS – is one
which is not rational, ie, a number
which cannot be expressed as a
quotient of two integers.
 RATIONAL NUMBER – is one which
can be expressed as a quotient of two
integers.
 FRACTION – is a part of a whole and
it is expressed in a form of a/b where a
and b are R and it is the numerator and
denominator of a fraction respectively.
 INTEGERS - is a number that is
written without a fractional
component. The set of
consists of the natural
(1, 2, 3, ...), zero (0)
the opposites of the natural numbers
(−1, −2, −3, ..., that are negative).
 NEGATIVE INTEGER – is a number
which is less than zero but not a
fraction or a decimal .
 WHOLE NUMBERS - are simply the
numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … (and so on).
There is no fractional or decimal part
and no negatives.
along a  ZERO -  is symbolized by the
numeric character 0, it is the absence
of a quantity or a magnitude; a
positional number system, a place
indicator meaning "no units of this
multiple.  It is an independent value
midway between +1 and -1.  It is
neither a positive nor negative.
 NATURAL OR COUNTING
NUMBERS -  are numbers which are
used for counting from one to infinity.
