In math, there exist a language called Context Free Language, which has a
similar structure. This language also has its own grammar. The final outcome
(which does not concern us here) of the language is something that is also
generated by single strings called terminating strings. Each sentence has its
own transformation rules, which are technically called productions. Each
sentence could also develop into a tree but called derivation tree in math.
So as we can see, there exist great similarities between human languages and
mathematics. Studies of human language and mathematics logic together could
even be conveniently used program computers to produce human languages. Thus,
in the near future, natural human languages and mathematics could merge
together to form a powerful tool for the human race.
