Mathematical Language
A Mathematical Language is a formal language based on a mathematical symbol set and a mathematical grammar.
- Context:
- It can be a part of a Mathematical System.
- It can (typically) specify a Mathematical Notation.
- It can be an input to Mathematical Modeling (to specify a mathematical model).
- Example(s):
- a Arithmetic Language.
- a Logic Language.
- a Probability Theory.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Substratum (Linguistics), Mathematical Jargon, Mathematical Formula, Mathematical Journal.

- The language of mathematics is the system used by mathematicians to communicate mathematical ideas among themselves. This language consists of a substrate of some natural language (for example English) using technical terms and grammatical conventions that are peculiar to mathematical discourse (see Mathematical jargon), supplemented by a highly specialized symbolic notation for mathematical formulas.
Like natural languages in general, discourse using the language of mathematics can employ a scala of registers. Research articles in academic journals use a more formal tone than oral exchanges over a scribbled-upon napkin in the university cafeteria.
