La traduzione del sottocodice di matematica
The Translation of the Mathematics Subcode

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we mention some features of the translation of scientific texts, which require, unlike those written in the common language, the translator’s knowledge of the specialized language. As a natural medium, a verbal communication, language (or code) consists of languages (or sub-codes) which are then divided into sub-codes. Therefore, the subcodes of arithmetic, algebra, geometry belong to the subcode of mathematics, which over time have become almost independent disciplines. Some theories and theorems of the first great mathematicians in history (such as Euclid and Thales of Miletus) are reported as examples of Mathematical language, along with a small glossary of specialized terms. Before drawing conclusions regarding the semantic structure of scientific languages, as opposed to that of natural languages, we recall the influence exerted by mathematics in general on the arts, on painting in particular, with the birth of Cubism.
