Mathematicians are expressive too!
Most people say things like ¨Wow!¨ to express amazement. What do mathematicians say?

stevenb said:Why wouldn't they say "WOW" also? There is a certain economy and symmetry to the word, isn't there?
FaustoMorales said:True, although some of us still prefer to say ¨Wow factorial¨. However, I must say in our defense that we do write ¨Wow!¨ like the rest of the world
stevenb said:Good one!
... or I should say, "Good one factorial"

~christina~ said:Those would be some really old children, if that represented their actual ages. :rofl:
FaustoMorales said:For example, I propose compelling these self-proclaimed ¨professionals¨ to use factorial-free keyboards. The measure should probably also include having them keep their desks clear of sharp objects at all times to prevent self-inflicted, accidental injuries. Just for good measure...
"Mathematicians are expressive too" is a statement that highlights the fact that mathematicians are not just logical thinkers, but they also have a creative and expressive side.
Acknowledging the expressiveness of mathematicians helps to break the stereotype that they are only analytical and lack creativity. It also highlights the importance of creative thinking in the field of mathematics.
Mathematicians express themselves in various ways, such as through writing proofs, creating visual representations of mathematical concepts, and using metaphors and analogies to explain complex ideas.
While it is not a requirement to be highly expressive to be a mathematician, being able to communicate ideas effectively and think creatively can greatly enhance one's mathematical abilities.
Yes, anyone can develop their expressiveness in mathematics through practice and exposure to different methods of communication and creative thinking. It is a skill that can be improved upon with effort and dedication.
