thoughts on mathematics

shifting gears now = )

an equation is an expression
a mathematical expression

like acting

of a truth
of a relation
in nature

but why math?

well, it was the easiest way
... back then = )

to express
with the littlest effort
a truth

it was convenient = )

mathematics is a language
it is a means to an end

the way nature communicate
with us

or is it our way
to decipher nature?

hmmm...

mathematics is a language
not the truth in itself

an equation is (a derivative of) truth
expressed in mathematics

truth is beyond mathematics = )

it could not be encapsulated
in the language of mathematics

we can try but...

all will be an inspired effort
but would still be limited

here's a thought
if mathematics is a language
then this could be true

that we could had
a mathematics teacher

in one point in our lives

a teacher that we can not grasp
because at that point of time
she/he was doing an
impersonation of our dear
Senator
Miriam Santiago
in all her glory
in all her wrath
in all he passion

showcasing
the ease of use of english
her depth
her vocabulary

but what is the point of
language in the first place?
to showcase?

or to be understood?

mathematics as a language
must also be beautiful
like, a neruda poem = )
