How do you express numbers in maths?
Well- by numbers, obviously! However, some numbers can be expressed in maths via equations or combinations of different numbers that have to be calculated to reveal what the number actually is. It's a bit like a code-cracking game. Mathematics also uses a whole range of symbols that each have a meaning, to cut down on the use of words as a means of expression and save space- many of these symbols were devised in ancient Greece by the mathematical scholars there.
