Week 3: English vs. Mathematics - ARG

English and Mathematics are both languages, but they differ in their
purpose and content. In basic knowledge of English, a noun is a name given
to an object of interest such as a person, places, things, and more. In the
person category, it can be any name of a person such as Carol, Jimin, Rose,
etc. Next is the place category, which identifies the specific location, city,
province, or country in the world just like the state of Idaho. Lastly, a thing refers
to any object or animal that we can see everywhere such as a cat, dog, pen,
or either brush.

On the other hand, sentences must state a complete thought wherein an


English sentence is composed of at least one noun and a verb. Based on the
diagram, it has three different statements to identify if it is a true statement,
false statement, or either sometimes true and sometimes false statement. True
(T) statement is obviously that the statement is correct or without any errors in
the sentences just like the example: "The word 'cat' begins with the letter c." In
contrast with that, False (F) sentences consist of a false statement especially
in this example: "The word 'cat' begins with the letter k ." We can see or identify
the mistake in the way it uses the letter k to spell the word cat. Moreover,
there's also a Sometimes True/ Sometimes False sentence (ST/SF) that can be
either the statement is true or false. For example, consider the sentence: "The
cat is black."
Moving on to the Mathematics language that we already know it's all
about numbers or math problems but it can be also connected to English in
which talks about people, places, and things while Mathematics has many
different 'objects of interest. In Math, a noun will be called an expression that
is a name given to a mathematical object of interest, whereas a sentence
must state a complete thought that is similar to English.

Expressions consist of a number, set, function, matrix, and ordered pair.


Numbers can be any arithmetical value or quantity from 1, 2, 3, 4, and above.
Next is set, wherein it is a collection of objects and in mathematical discourse
especially {3}. Describing the function, it is a relation between a set of inputs
and a set of permissible outputs that 'f' is a name of a function (f of x) and the
(x) means as an input (domain). Furthermore, a matrix is a set of numbers
arranged in rows and columns to form a rectangular array and to be precisely
in a form like this:

[ 10 01]
Lastly, an ordered pair is basically a pair of numbers which commonly are
the (x, y) that should be written in the ordered pair.

A sentence in mathematics also has true, false, or sometimes true and


sometimes false statements of a sentence. A true statement in which the
mathematical sentence is identified as correct or without any error. For
example 1+2=3. In the opposite of a true statement, a false statement such as
1+2=4 is false or incorrect because as you can see the final answer must be
equals to 3. For this instance, sometimes true and sometimes false statement
means that it can be either correct or incorrect just like the x=1 that depends
on the specific situation.
