Is English England? No, English is the language of England. In a similar way, mathematics is the language of science.
Mathematics is not a language in the linguistic sense.
Yes, it is :/
No it's not. It doesn't have words nor grammar. The mathematical concepts have to be expressed the English language (or some other language).
It has words and grammar.
Words are symbols that represent concepts. Mathematical symbols represent concepts.
Numerals and constants can be nouns or adjectives.
Variables are the pronouns.
Operators (+, -, x, /, et cetera) are the verbs and adverbs.
Formulas are sentences.
Algorithms are paragraphs.
It's all so simple, once you know and understand the language.
