THE SUBJECT OF THIS BOOK IS HOW TO FORMULATE A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FROM
AN ENGLISH DESCRIPTION OF A PROBLEM. THIS BOOK VIEWS MATHEMATICAL
NOTATION AS A LANGUAGE AND DEVELOPS THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS VIEW FOR
TRANSLATING ENGLISH TEXT INTO MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS AND MATHEMATICAL
MODELS, I.E. FOR APPLYING MATHEMATICS TO PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN ENGLISH.
IN ORDER TO APPLY MATHEMATICS TO A PRACTICAL PROBLEM, ONE MUST FIRST
TRANSFORM AN ENGLISH STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
ITS SOLUTION INTO MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS. THIS BOOK EXAMINES THIS
PROCESS IN DETAIL, PRESENTS NEW INSIGHT INTO IT, AND DEVELOPS EXPLICIT
GUIDELINES FOR THIS IMPORTANT STEP. THIS BOOK IDENTIFIES THE BASIC
ELEMENTS (VALUES, VARIABLES, AND FUNCTIONS) OF THE LANGUAGE OF
MATHEMATICS AND PRESENTS THE GRAMMATICAL RULES FOR COMBINING THEM INTO
EXPRESSIONS AND OTHER STRUCTURES. DIFFERENT NOTATIONAL FORMS FOR
EXPRESSIONS ARE DESCRIBED AND DEFINED. CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN PARTS OF
SPEECH AND OTHER GRAMMATICAL ELEMENTS IN ENGLISH AND COMPONENTS OF
EXPRESSIONS IN THE LANGUAGE OF MATHEMATICS ARE IDENTIFIED. THESE LEAD TO
USEFUL GUIDELINES FOR TRANSLATING ENGLISH INTO THE LANGUAGE OF
MATHEMATICS. IN ADDITION, THE BOOK CONTAINS MANY EXAMPLES OF TRANSLATING
ENGLISH INTO MATHEMATICS. THE APPROACH PRESENTED IN THIS BOOK MAKES
MATHEMATICS ACCESSIBLE TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF FROM
MATHEMATICS BY THEIR EARLY EXPOSURE TO IT
