Why is mathematics considered a language by some experts?

1. Similar to a language, mathematics uses syntax and signs within a discipline
2. Mathematics can accurately describe real-world problems and abstract concepts
3. Mathematics is a widely used subject, universal to everyone
4. Only (a) and (b)

Correct answer: Only (a) and (b)

Solution

Mathematics is compared to a language because it has symbols, syntax, and rules, and it can describe both concrete and abstract ideas. The statement about being widely used does not by itself explain why it is considered a language.
