'Why not tell me in words instead of in symbols? Mathematics is just a language, and I want to be able to translate the language'. But I do not think it is possible, because mathematics is not just another language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. It is in fact a big collection of the results of some person's careful thought and reasoning. By mathematics it is possible to connect one statement to another.

Richard Feynman, 1967
