Why do words and mathematics seem to have different levels of complexity?

[QUOTE="Arjan82, post: 6535836, member: 177647"] I've always understood that complex numbers are indeed complex, but in the other meaning of the word. So they consists of several parts, are a composite. And, depending who you ask, they can also be pretty difficult ;). Lastly, we've invented math (and in particular the notation) to not be dependent on words anymore for exactly the reason you've mentioned. I believe that in the early days math problems and solutions were given in story like fashion... we've come a long way :). [/QUOTE]
