I believe this is not possible. From my learning experience, the language of mathematics differs from natural languages more than they differ from each other. Only when I abandoned attempts to think about mathematics in my native language, I was able to progress. I would call the language of mathematics Martian, alien, ☺ not Esperanto, so different it is. | |
