Mathematical
Language and
Symbols
2
 Key concepts
• The language of mathematics is the system used by
mathematicians to communicate mathematical ideas among
themselves.
• Mathematics as a language has symbols to express a formula
or represent a constant.
• It has syntax to make the expression well-formed to make the
characters and symbols clear and valid that they do not violate
rules.
3
 Writing mathematical language as an expression or a
sentence
• It is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed
according to the rules that depend on the context.
Ex. expressions:
5 2+3 10/2 (6-2)+1 1+1+1+1+1
All look different, but are all just different names for the same
number.

4
 Mathematical sentence
• It is a correct arrangement of mathematical symbols that states
a complete thought.
• It can be always true, or false, or sometimes true/false
Example:
1 + 2 = 3 (true)
1 + 2 = 4 (false)
X = 2sometimes true/false

Check if the following year is a leap year.
2022
2024

21
Solution: Solution:
2022 2024
Y = 2022 – 0 Y = 2024 2024
4 4 100
= 505 r 2 = 506 (leap year) 202.4
(not a leap year)
