Question

Why is mathematics often called the "language of science"?

Answer 1

because it is the "language of science".

Explanation:

Mathematics is how we describe things in science. From Einstein's equations describing gravity and relativity, to chemistry's equations on how elements interact, to the statistical models and probabilistic analyses we use to describe events in biology, economics, or sociology, all of the sciences use math do describe their findings.

It is sad that this understanding of how fundamental mathematics is to our scientific understanding of the Universe is not conveyed to the public more.
