COEVOLUTION WITH HOST. “And each of these six languages have undergone their own individual evolutions. Each of these six languages is like a symbiotic organism that depends on its human hosts for its sustenance.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

INTERLOCKING SYSTEMS. “Each mode of language incorporates the features of the previous modes. The Internet incorporates all of the features of computing which in turn incorporates the features of all the previous modes: speech, writing, mathematics, and science. Science incorporates speech, writing, and mathematics. Writing and mathematics arose at the same moment in history. They therefore only incorporated the features of speech, albeit different ones.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

CHANGING MEDIUM. “This observation of the effects of phonetic writing supports the notion that mathematics will change in the age of information, i.e. the age of computers and the Internet. Mathematics is, in fact, changing as is reported in the Wikipedia article Computer-assisted proof.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

DUAL CHANGES. “Another example of how a new language changes a language that preceded it is the way the emergence of abstract science affected mathematics with scientists developing new kinds of mathematics to describe nature. Descartes’s analytic geometry and Newton’s differential calculus being two examples of this among many other examples.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

THE NEW MATHS. “The effects of computing on science are far too many to document. Suffice it to say that almost every contemporary scientific discovery involves the use of the computer. The language of the Internet and the dialect of the World Wide Web are essential for scientific activity.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

UNEXPECTED BEGINNINGS. “In fact, the Web was developed at the elementary particle accelerator at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee (1999) to facilitate the communications of the international research teams that carried out their research at CERN.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

NEW HORIZONS. “If one is to operate successfully in the Information Age one must be fluent with all six languages especially mathematics as it is the base for computing and using the Internet. Mathematics in the age of information and the age of computers, the Internet and the World Wide Web will continue to evolve.” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn

THE FUTURE. “It is also likely that as new languages emerge, such is the case with robotics and artificial intelligence that they will inspire even more new mathematics. I cannot predict was these will be but I am confident that the complexity of mathematics in the Age of Information will continue to grow. QED!” https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-59177-9_13 View in LinkedIn
