Az előadás összefoglalója:
The outsider sees mathematical notation as a completely precise and unambiguous notation.
The mathematician knows that the notation is context-dependent, and (2,4) might be an open interval, an ordered pair, a transposition, or even a g.c.d. computation. What is not so obvious is that a mathematics to speech system has to speak (2,4) in (at least) four different ways if the hearer is to be given a fair chance of understanding the mathematics.
