Him, however would argue that math is not a language neither was it created by humans. He'd say math is larger than humans and humans merely attempt to decode it. In fact, he'd say math is God. (or something like that).

the abstract "MATH" is larger than humans, but the notation system/language of the science of Mathematics is purely a human creation.

2 + 2 = 4

II + II = IV
