Paper Summary:

This paper explains that language and mathematics are similar in that they both have rules. The author points out that people make assumptions when it comes to language and mathematics, which may not be proven and only are assumed to be correct. The paper relates that mathematics and language have many similarities such as syntax and semantics.

From the Paper:

""Colorless green ideas sleep furiously," are words with specific meaning but put together in a sentence they clearly lack meaning (Devlin, Born). Does language and communication mean the same thing? Do the formulas for mathematics always have the same answers? Language and mathematics do not always make sense without the formal rules of syntax. People make assumptions when it comes to language and mathematics that may not be proven and only assumed to be correct. Mathematics and language have many similarities such as syntax and semantics."
