I would claim numbers are built from imagesbrbrExample , 4 always represents 4 images, like 4 squares for instancebrbrbr1 The main idea here is that maths is built from imagesbrbrbr(a) example , geometry is clearly made of imagesbrbrb) example 2, We claim numbers are built from images too, as say 4 , always represents 4 images, like 4 squares for instancebrbrC) imaginary numbers are connected to images too , which is why they have applications in physicsbrbrD) In general any mathematical symbol that comes to mind is connected to images too

Addition itself is already a shortcut, at least for integers m+n is short for "n integers after m"

All mathematical symbols are Indian Hindu Khumbar entities Europeans do not have the same relation to them as Indian Hindu Khumbars The Greeks in the 19th 20th century decided to create there greek language from archeological items and forced the made language to mean things that do not even sound correct according to language logic This is one of the reasons why the British failed to understand the Atar Codex and decided to think that they could make there own royal society based on other peoples cultures and religions⚡️🤴🏽🕉🔺➕

root symbol is not arbitrary, it's a stylized "r" from latin "radix"

Comment from : @joaomlpgamingstudios2077

The way I see a division sign is that the line broke a larger dot into two, which is the whole idea of division ("breaking" a number into smaller parts)

Math is fun It just takes a long time to learn because it is so vast Most people skip over a lot of important things in basic math and algebra 1&2 That is why they do bad in calculus etc I think it takes awhile to get a foundation like mechanics of the terms and the language Once that is done, the sky is the limit You will just be learn different concepts

Comment from : @benquinneyiii7941

“There’s an apt conformity between the symbol and what it represents” is exactly how I would describe Chinese It’s why I like to say Chinese is an artistic language You don’t have to ask iwhy/i 人 is shaped like the way it is It’s obvious that it looks like a two-legged ape thing
