This document contains a worksheet with mathematical language and symbol translation exercises. It includes translating phrases between English and mathematical notation, writing sets in roster and set-builder form, and determining whether sets are finite or infinite, equal, or equivalent.
Introduction. Mathematics has its own language, much of which we are already familiar with. For example the digits. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. are part of our everyday lives. Whether we refer to 0 as ‘zero’, ‘nothing’, ‘nought’, or ‘O’ as in a telephone number, we understand its meaning.
In this book, you will get extensive practice with mathematical language ideas, to enhance your ability to correctly read, write, speak, and understand mathematics. Every language has its vocabulary (the words), and its rules for combining these words into complete thoughts (the sentences). Mathematics is no exception.

TRANSLATING KEY WORDS AND PHRASES INTO ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS. The table below lists some key words and phrases that are used to describe common mathematical operations. To write algebraic expressions and equations, assign a variable to represent the unknown number.
a few basic terms of mathematical grammar. The object of this section is to explain the most im-portant mathematical “parts of speech”, some of which are similar to those of natural languages and others quite different. These are normally taught right at the beginning of a university course in mathematics. Much of the Companion can be un-
