Language and Mathematics: An Interdisciplinary Guide

Mathematics is often designated as its very own language, with its own symbols and grammatical rules constantly testing individuals’ fluency; however, despite language and mathematics different intellectual and practical functions, Marcel Danesi, PhD. explores the fundamental truth that Mathematics is indeed a language.
Language and Mathematics: An Interdisciplinary Guide, written by Marcel Danesi, PhD, explores the many disciplinary and theoretical links between language, linguistics, and mathematics. Noting their differences, similarities, and the way they all intertwine, readers are led through the many nuances within the world of numbers and letters.
With an experienced eye, Danesi examines trends in linguistics, such as structuralism, conceptual metaphor theory, and other relevant theories, to show that language and mathematics have a similar structure, but differential functions. Through numerous in-depth chapters and over 250 pages, Danesi ultimately concludes that without one the other would not exist.
