What variant of norwegian language was (and perhaps still in use) used in the norwegians mathematicians writings?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

Bokmål and Nynorsk are two different written standards of the Norwegian language. Bokmål is the more widely used standard and is based on the language spoken in and around Oslo, while Nynorsk is based on the language spoken in western and central parts of Norway. In mathematical writings, the main difference between the two standards is the use of different words for certain mathematical concepts.
Bokmål is the more commonly used standard in Norwegian mathematical writings. This is because it is the primary written form of the language and is used in most educational and scientific institutions in Norway.
Yes, there are specific rules and guidelines for using Bokmål and Nynorsk in mathematical writings. These rules are set by the Norwegian Language Council and include guidelines for spelling, grammar, and vocabulary usage. It is important to follow these rules to ensure consistency and clarity in mathematical writings.
No, Bokmål and Nynorsk should not be used interchangeably in mathematical writings. While both standards are considered official written forms of the Norwegian language, they have distinct differences in vocabulary and sentence structure. It is important to use the appropriate standard for the intended audience and context.
No, it is not necessary to be fluent in both Bokmål and Nynorsk to understand Norwegian mathematical writings. However, it may be helpful to have a basic understanding of both standards to navigate between the two, especially if one is conducting research or studying in Norway.
