<p>Is not it better to use a mathematical language for writing mathematical papers. For example, use the logic of mathematical symbols more tnan additional comment. Is it feasible?</p>

<p>The answer to your question is "No".</p> <p>In Halmos's "How to write mathematics" (which you can find by googling), he refers to using symbols rather than words as "writing in code". It might make the writer's task easier but that is irrelevant, because it makes the reader's life considerably harder.</p> <p>Halmos's article is a very good guide.</p>
