Mathematics - A view or Definition

Mathematics can be viewed as 'A process of symbol manipulation subject to certain rules (called) axioms' according to E.Post and A.A.Markov.
A theorem is nothing but a string of symbols in a well-defined alphabet set.
The operations used in such a symbol manipulation are concatenation, replacement and matching.
Everything originated from Mathematics only.
According to Thirukural (the sacred text of Tamil,Indian book), the numbers and the letters are the eyes of an human.
Any language whether English or Tamil can be learnt through Mathematics.
A language has an alphabet, a set of axioms (which are fixed strings made from the character set A) and some inference rules (called productions).

So a child should learn mathematics first. Then it could learn any language through mathematics. BE A MAD PERSON !
