> Mathematics is just a language
Perhaps, for some definitions of the word 'language,' but by and large this is a gross misconception propagated by (theoretical) physicists and other heavy users of more or less abstract mathematics. (In contrast with those who use mathematics to perform computations, such as engineers; unfortunately, this has also been happening within mathematics itself in regards to the relationship between its different branches.)
- Retra 8y agoMathematics being a language does not preclude it from being a computational or physical process, so I don't know what you're objecting to. Nothing I would assert, anyway.
