Abstract
This essay talks about the similarity between mathematical statements and language structures. What is essential to both is that there are fixed rules which determine what mathematical symbols have meaning and what do not. Language also functions in a similar way. As Keith Devlin states, all languages are variations on a single theme (Devlin 7). Thus, Both mathematics and language are governed by particular rules that are syntactically or structurally similar.

Abstract
This essay discusses Alfred North Whitehead's view of math and science in philosophy. His basic theme is that concrete entities are not enduring substances but events that are connected to each other by their space-time relations and qualitative and mathematical patterns. In Whitehead's view, time is differentiated from space by the acts of inheriting patterns from the past.

Abstract
This paper is on David Hilbert and mathematics. He became famous for developing his "axiomatic" and "existential" methods. His proposal in 1900 of twenty-three problems for the coming century set the course of much subsequent mathematics. It was in this context that Hilbert came to be seen as the person who set the foundation for many mathematical questions.
