Abstract
This chapter outlines the relation, in fact, the identification of the language with the creative and expressive human functions. The acquisition of language makes our ability to operate for all practical and theoretical purposes so vast that we may regard it as without limitation. The existence of a domain for the language leads us, both as speakers and hearers, to communicate mathematics. The concept of set is described with examples and the operations of inclusion, intersection, union and difference are introduced along with the concept of empty set.
