Один пустой треп на общие темы.
You are quite right. In order to warrant my remarks in this thread I'll try to describe how mathematics helps personally me to study English.
I put aside the obvious fact that computers, audio and video devices that I use in my learning would be impossible without mathematics and its achievements. Besides that:
First, to enlarge my vocabulary I use a computer program called Mnemosyne. This program implements a space repetition algorithm based on the learning curve described by Ebbinghaus and other researchers with the help of mathematical and statistical methods.
Second, these methods are also used for compiling frequency word lists. I make a good use of them when choosing the words for memorising.
Third, I usually like to know how many words there are in a book that I have read, and especially how many different words they have, because it shows the vocabulary, if passive, I possess. Word counting software makes it possible for me to get these data. Here we see statistics again.
These three points are quite enough to say that mathematics greatly facilitates my learning of English, for which I'm very much indebted to this wonderful science.
Sorry, I'm trying to write in English, because I'm unable to convey the above statements into mathematics. Moreover, I'm afraid nobody is, because mathematics itself is not a language at all, but a science, a study of numbers and their operations, etc.; at least, such is its generally accepted definition.
