'Mathematics is the most perfect language of all'.

Mathematics-
A Perfect Language??

Surely speaking, a language is an articulated means of communication, enabling the speaker to fetch thought to another person. However, the more complex the thoughts or ideas, the harder or more clumsy the language becomes. To demonstrate verbally why 'the square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle equals the sum of the squares on the other two sides of a same triangle' would require a long and monotonous paragraph. And this is the straightforward possible example; anything more complex would be cumbersome. So in this way mathematical symbols which nowadays are universally accepted, squeeze information in a way that no other language possibly could, and this fact supports the title statement.
The perfection of mathematics cannot be expressed with the combination of 26 alphabets. However, this language is only accessible to most people in its simplest forms, i.e. arithmetic, algebra and geometry, and these are taught in schools because they have usages in everyday life. The shop assistant needs arithmetic, unless there is an automatic cash till, and technicians of all sorts need the other two; perhaps more, such as trigonometry, logarithms and the calculus, should one be dealing with quantities that vary in time and space. In this sense, of course, mathematics is a minority language, a language digestible only to the specialists of all nations.
The time may come when understanding of higher mathematics is far more widespread. However, The new mathematics is now being taught in many schools, sometimes alongside the traditional approach, and younger students find the new methods more digestible. The principles of course have not replaced; merely the setting out. However, there are prominent developments available to younger students permitting them to see the subject as a whole rather than as a series of distinct compartments, and this should engender more interest in those whose usual bent is in the direction of the arts.

Mathematics has been described as 'the spearhead of natural philosophy', and this was definitely true up to about 1800 AD. The subject grew up boldly in China, India, the Arab world and Europe. For example, most of the Alexandrian and Greek schools of geometricians, represented by Thales of Miletus, Archimedes, Pythagoras, Euclid, Trigonometry etc advanced propositions which were already known elsewhere. The West extracted its number system from the Hindu-Arabic world, which reached Europe in about 1000 AD. The West learnt mathematics from the Arab world and, from the 15th century, prominent developments took place.

Descartes revived algebraic geometry, Napier invented logarithms, Newton and Leibnitz the calculus, Hipparchus the trigonometry, Lobachevsky developed non-Euclidian geometry, and was followed by Einstein, though the later was more of a physicist than a mathematician. From Newton onwards, mechanics and astronomy began to use advanced mathematics and, later on, physics came in for the identical treatment. And Mathematics can not only be applied to areas of physics, but also in the domain of biology, chemistry, and even other disciplines like commerce, geography, economics, astronomy, statistical phenomena and also in our daily lives. Both pure and applied mathematics became the essential tools of advancement. Pure mathematics reaches conclusions by means of the deductive process, and may be independent of need. Applied mathematics comprise of developments to meet the requirements of science and technology.

So mathematics has become a beautiful language in various senses. Firstly, in its ability to compress ideas, just as a great poet achieves craved effects by great verbal economy. Second, because its tools, the symbols, are globally accepted. Third, because it is totally objective, and completely exact, allowing no room for prejudice or human emotion. Fourth, because it constantly supplies the ground for new hypotheses. These in turn are verified by logic and observation. Often as with Pythagoras, mathematical conclusions can be verified by other means. So mathematics can lead man nearer to absolute truth than any other means, that is in the categories of discovery in which it can work.
Mathematics means facts, and the study of numbers, quantities or shapes, verified by experiment, and these facts are true within the four dimensions in which the human mind can operate. The other dimensions, perhaps six according to Stephen Hawking, must be compressed into infinitesimal space, so are likely to remain the entitlement of the Creator! We are what we are today, are because of mathematics, thanks to mathematics, the seed of all understanding. Indeed if we want to ‘read’ God’s mind, as Stephen Hawking might put it, we must first understand the language of God.
