Abstract

The language of mathematics speaks of objects. This is a rather trivial statement; it is not certain that we can conceive any developed language that does not. What is of interest is that, taken at face value, mathematical language speaks of objects distinctively mathematical in character: numbers, functions, sets, geometric figures, and the like. To begin with they are distinctive in being abstract.
