ABSTRACT

The grammar of mathematics is the specific use of a mathematical notation system, the rules that underlie ‘how’ and ‘when’ a particular notation is to be used with the framework of a mathematical discipline (Wikipedia, 2013, “Language of mathematics”: 4). An example would be the English word formula one plus one equals two that can be mathematically notated as 1 + 1 = 2. A hybrid of the two language systems, natural language and mathematical formalisms such as the word formula for one plus one equals two can be written as 1 + one equals 2.
