Number, Language, and Mathematics

Abstract

A Number is a major object in mathematics. Mathematics is a discipline which studies the properties of numbers. The object can be described using mathematical language, which has been developed more rigorously than natural language. However, the language is not entirely free from natural language. The countability of a natural number also originates from natural language. It is necessary to understand how language guides a number into mathematics, its main playground.
