What is the mathematical language of symbols including variables?

The mathematical language of symbols, including variables, is a systematic way to represent mathematical concepts and relationships using symbols rather than words. Variables are symbols that stand for unknown values or quantities, allowing for generalization and abstraction in mathematical expressions and equations. This symbolic language facilitates the formulation of mathematical theories and the solving of problems by providing a concise and universal means of communication among mathematicians. It enables complex ideas to be expressed clearly and efficiently, making it easier to manipulate and analyze mathematical relationships.


What is the prefix for denoting eleven?

There are several, of which endeca- and hendeca- are more common. However, most mathematicians who wish to communicate rather than be pretentious will refer to an 11-gon or 11-hedron rather than use the prefices.


What animation method does not use symbols?

What do you call a 240 sided figure?

Most sensible mathematicians would call it a 240-gon. Those with pretensions or who wish to obfuscate rather than communicate with their audiences might call it a dihectatetracontagon.

What will maps look like if you used words rather than symbols to locate and describe features?

Too full of clutter.


Which measure of angle is most often used by engineers and mathematicians?

π or π/2 radians for mathematicians (certainly), and I would guess 90 degrees for engineers. Advanced mathematicians use radians rather than degrees as the unit for measuring angles.


What is arbitrary vocal symbols?

Arbitrary vocal symbols are sounds or words used in a language that do not have an inherent connection to the objects or concepts they represent. In other words, the link between the sound and its meaning is based on convention rather than a natural relationship. This feature is common in human languages.


What would the world be like without nouns?

Nouns are a part of every language. Without nouns, humans would communicate by signs and symbols rather than words.

What is an example an pictographic language?

An example of a pictographic language is Chinese, where characters are formed of graphemes that represent words or phrases, rather than sounds. Each character visually represents a concept or object, making it a form of writing that relies on visual symbols rather than an alphabet.

Do the Chinese use symbols instead of words?

Chinese characters, known as Hanzi, are logograms that represent words or morphemes, rather than individual letters or sounds. Each character can convey meaning on its own or combine with others to form words. So, in a sense, Chinese characters can be seen as symbols that represent both words and concepts.

What are hyroglyphics?
