If we wish to rewrite sentence (3) symbolically, another way to do it is to define. P to be the collection, or set, of all prime numbers. Then (3) can be rewritten, “5 belongs to the set P”. This notion of belonging to a set is sufficiently basic to deserve its own symbol, and the symbol used is ∈.
The language of mathematics can be learned, but requires the e orts needed to learn any foreign language. In this book, while you are learning algebra, you will also get extensive practice with mathematical language ideas, to enhance your ability to correctly read, write, speak, and understand mathematics. This rst section introduces many ...
This paper is about the use of language as a tool for teaching mathematical concepts. In it, I want to show how making the syntactical and rhetorical structure of mathematical language clear and explicit to students can increase their understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts.
