Learning mathematics requires symbols


pythagorean-theorem-formula.jpgMathematics is a the field that is common throughout the universe. Everything is made out of mathematics. This field of study is represented through symbols to the human eye because it is to broad to memorise it all. This theorem need symbols in order to be understood because it cannot be clearly explained through words because it involves not only numbers that are symbols but it also demands previous apprehension for right triangles which are shapes.





Another example in mathematics that requires symbols are the venn diagrams that show all hypothetically possible logical relations between a finite collection of sets. This type of learning also needs the help of symbols to be able to be taught because using only words to clear up doubts can result really demanding and my result uncertain for the knower.
