Abstract: Compared with everyday vocabulary, mathematical nouns are less visual and vivid on account of their abstraction, rigor and universality. This is because mathematics is generally presented in logical forms, which cover up the rich cultural connotations contained in mathematical nouns. This fact is well embodied in modern mathematical symbol nouns. If we take off this layer of shell, the cultural connotations of mathematical nouns will be presented. Thinking along the line of tensor analysis and R... More
