Abstract: Many scholars argue that mathematics is a language. Compared with ordinary language, mathematical ways of communication are more rigid and efficient but also technical, abstract, and hard to grasp for many students. This workshop will review the linguistic complexity of mathematical language and share two teaching strategies: translating symbolic notation and derivation of technical terminology to foster mathematical understanding.

摘要：许多学者认为，数学是一种语言。与一般语言相比，数学的表达方式更严谨和高效，同时也十分专门和抽象，很多学生都觉得难以掌握。本工作坊将探讨数学语言的复杂性，并介绍两种教学策略：符号翻译和术语起源探究，从而加强学生对数学的理解。
