is attributed with the quote, "Mathematics is the langue in which God has written the universe." Most likely this
quote is a summary of his statement in Opere 11 Saggiatire:
(The universe) cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which
it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles, geometrical figures, also
in numbers of the alphabet, which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word.
No matter what country you are from or what language you speak, the structure of the mathematical language is
the same. There are multiple definitions of "language". A language may be a system of words or codes used within
a discipline. Language may refer to a system of communication using symbols or sounds.
There may be a vocabulary of words or symbols.
Meanings must be attached to the words or symbols.
A language employs grammar, which is a set of rules that outline how vocabulary is used.
There must be (or have been) a group of people who use and understand the symbols.
Mathematics describes itself (a field called metamathematics) a real world phenomena, and abstract concepts.
