That doesn’t prove it isn’t a language. Many concepts are untranslatable between languages. Formal languages exist which are only able to express things within their formal domain. Etc!
Modern mathematicians use a common symbolic system to communicate mathematical ideas that is more a language than it is not a language. In fact I think it’s entirely a language.
there are a variety of ways to express any mathematical idea… i.e. there are a variety of mathematical languages
usually referred to as different notations.
even when there are language barriers, a good translator can still express an idea in another language… math is not a language, but you do kinda need to learn another language to understand it
Then I think you’re misusing the word footnote.
Ha! I was. Thank you.
D’oh
But my point about math still stands lol
I think the main reason it’s hard to understand is it’s missing context that’s not important to the joke: whatever
nis in this context…it’s not a language, you can’t translate a book into mathematics
