This is rather poetic. There is no difference, mathematical notation is a natural language and initiated mathematicians will read it in sentence form. Reading is a process of form recognition disconnect from vocalization. On the other hand, language seems to be mostly perceived as vocalisation, because that's the form it's learned from. As anecdotal evidence, tongue is an idiom for language and people have to make an actual effort to read without vocalizatio in order to increase reading-speed. Note that your literal example does contain a lot more information about context. IE, you even omitted the quadratic equation itself. That shows exactly the problem that I thought the Parent would mean: I prefer source code in a given language, that's actually compiled and maybe even proven correct, over terse mathematical notation that leaves a lot to context, intuition and shared information. Computability Theory gave rise to Computers, not the other way around. |
