Mathematics in foreign languages

Mathematics knows no national borders, and one is often called upon to converse about mathematics in a language that is not one’s native tongue. To make this easier for you, we have gathered here some information on this topic: The Dictionary of Mathematical Concepts in European languages: How do you say ‘square root’ in Portuguese? Or ‘equation’ in Turkish? The Dictionary of Mathematical Symbols: How, for example, do you say ‘47/11’ in Italian? These dictionaries may be of help in understanding texts, but they do not equip one for speaking or writing mathematics in another language. Read more
