数学符号——逻辑思维经济性的最佳载体

Mathematical Symbol: Best Carrier of Economical Logical Thinking

数学语言因大量使用符号,具有高度的抽象性、描述的准确性和应用的广泛性,已成为科学的共同语言和国际化通用语言。数学符号在数学科学的发展中和数学知识的广泛应用中起着至关重要的作用.毫不夸张的说,没有数学符号的引入,就没有当今的数学。数学符号因所具有的确定性、简洁性和统一性,能够用最少的“文字”长度、最简洁的形式(公式等)承载大量的信息,使人们摆脱大量的记忆和模糊不清的语言纠缠,使思维专注于关键问题。因而能够简约思维,促进思维的“机械化”,是逻辑思维经济性的最佳载体。

Mathematical language has become a common scientific language and an internationalized universal language for its widely used symbols, high abstractness, accurate description. Mathematical symbols play a vital role in the development of mathematics and the extensive use of mathematic knowledge. Without mathematical symbols, there would be no mathematics. Mathematic symbols, characterized by their definiteness, conciseness and unity, can bear huge amount information with least words in a simplest form （ a formula etc. ）. By such a way, people can get rid of vast memories and concentrate on the key part so as to make thinking to be simplified and mechanized.
