Ilyosova Shamsiyabonu Baxtiyor qizi


Abstract

The field of mathematics serves as a universal language, transcending geographical and linguistic boundaries. However, the specific terms used to convey mathematical concepts may vary across languages, presenting a unique opportunity for contrastive analysis. This article delves into the contrastive analysis of mathematical terms in Uzbek and English, aiming to explore the linguistic nuances that may impact comprehension and communication in mathematical discourse.
