Book Introduction
What are the crucial and important words in the language of mathematics?
The language of mathematics is a language of clear promises.

The language of mathematics makes thoughts and knowledge precise and transparent.
The words and symbols we use in the language of mathematics are a way of thinking.
Explains the meaning and significance of mathematical language, including numbers, symbols for arithmetic operations, and equations.


Just as there is a literary language used in literature and a language of art, there is a mathematical language used in mathematics.
The language of mathematics is special.
The language of mathematics has been moving towards consensus from the very beginning.
1+1=2.
Seeking only one answer.
It has the power to make everyone agree, something that no one can deny.
Where does the power of mathematical language—consistency, precision, clarity, and computational ability—come from? What are the most important words in the language of mathematics?
It is the equal sign '='.
All math problems ask about equality.
Equal sign is a way of thinking, a way of making things the same.
The mathematical language that makes and expresses different things as the same is the equal sign.

Uncovers the identities of mathematical words and concepts.
The language of mathematics is so clean and dreams of 100% agreement.
The language that everyone wants and expects to be 100% consistent with is the language of mathematics.
It is a language that is understood anywhere in the world as 1+1=2.
What language are the four basic operations of arithmetic? Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are the most fundamental abilities and functions of the human brain.
The four basic operations are the first qualifications for humans to become Homo sapiens, that is, thinking human beings.
The four basic operations are a method of reasoning and a way of thinking.
Only the human brain can perfectly perform the four basic arithmetic operations.
And emotions flow through the four basic operations.


Equations always ask about unknowns.
Other names for equations are method, fashion, problem-solving, and manual.
The unknown is what we want to know, what we need to know, what we don't know, what we need to find, what we need to achieve and accomplish, and what hasn't been accomplished yet.
People already have a lot of equations.
Machines put their equations into practice every day.
Always repeating the same work.
It's the power of equations.
The crucial word in a set is the parentheses '( )'.
The very nature of sets is that everything is put in parentheses.
As a language of mathematics, sets contain everything in this world and express it mathematically.
Set is a crucial word in mathematics.
With the advent of sets, mathematics can now express and handle even infinity.

As a language of mathematics, functions give us the ability to predict and know outcomes in advance.
A function is a way of thinking that produces an effect based on a cause.
The language of mathematics is a very special language created by human thought.
It is the language of knowledge and the most abstract language of thought.

Into the book
The word and symbol that is essential in all math problems is the equal sign '='.
Mathematics was invented to find the '=' equal sign.
All math problems and mathematical thinking exist to solve the equal sign '='.
--- p.11

We encounter new things and experience addition.
When you break up with something and part ways, you feel a sense of loss.
You can join a gathering of hundreds of people and get caught up in the excitement of multiplication as you experience the power of the group transcending the individual.
And then I calculate the share that has been given to me and imagine with whom I will share what I have.
Addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division are the warp and weft of relationships that weave events and emotions in the drama of life.
--- p.47

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 stand in order.
They are received one by one from the front and stacked to grow.
Starting from 1, the numbers are stacked one by one in the order of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, creating a 'sequence'.
Finally, we can think about 'order'.
--- p.67

Therefore, 0 is the language of thought that represents the boundary of perception, the limit of perception.
It is the final signal that there is nothing beyond zero, that nothing more can be discovered.
0 is the language of boundaries.
There is something beyond zero.
0 claims.
Empty-handed.
Everything is gone.
It's over.
Game out.
The last screen of the movie.
It's just white.
0 is really the end.
A perfect format.
That place, that state, that time, where nothing remains.
0 is a language that represents that place, that time.
--- p.83

A challenge to ambiguity.
Numbers and mathematics are a challenge to ambiguity and a fight against uncertainty.
The challenge of a world filled with ambiguity, uncertainty, and constant flux and turmoil is the very will and desire of mathematical thinking.
The impulse of thought that commands a halt to the ever-changing, undulating world is expressed in numbers.
It is a momentary captivation through numbers of a world that cannot be grasped and does not stop.
--- p.118

The moment mathematics comes to mind is a unique idea.
Differentiation is a method of thinking that allows us to measure and calculate the magnitude of a moment in our mathematical imagination.
If we can calculate moments, we can express motion, change, and movement, which are collections of moments, in the language of mathematics.
To create a moving robot, you need to be able to accurately calculate and measure the movement using mathematical language.
In order for a robot to move not on its own, but according to instructions and commands in mathematical language, it must be able to calculate the movement itself.
--- p.153

1 means 'the beginning and the beginning of everything'.
First step, first shovel, first paycheck, first person, first experience, first meeting.
Everyone uses 1 to mean the beginning.
1 also means 'first' or 'highest'.
It is used in the form of first-class, first-class, first-rate, first-class, best in the world, etc.
The number '1' represents people's hopes and desires, and is a number that brings people a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment.
That is why it is also called the number of happiness, the number of blessings.
--- p.178

We live in the rhythm of 7.
Because a week consists of 7 days.
The scent of reason that 7 exudes is ‘perfection’ and ‘unity.’
The daily routine of life returns perfectly to its 7-day rhythm.
The identity of the light has been perfected with a seven-colored rainbow.
Sometimes, it may have been the 'perfect number' that made God jealous.
It is also a lucky number because of its perfection.
Perfection, good fortune, victory and accomplishment, divinity, wisdom, and success are other names for the number 7.
