English is widely regarded as the global language of science now. In China, we use simplified Chinese to write scientific textbooks, teach courses and do almost everything. Let's take the simplest example, single variable calculus. I have used both a Chinese version and an English version (Thomas' "Calculus"), and to me, the English version is much, much better than the Chinese version. The technical terms become much clearer. Let's take the example of "Differentiate," "Differential," "Differentiation". When translated into Chinese, they have the same name "微分," and the subtle difference is gone.
And my question is, how can you prove one language is more efficiencyefficient than another language for science?Like Like proving English is more efficiency thatefficient than Chinese for science.
Update: Since almost all of you guys agree that any language is okOK for science.The, the question is now about efficiency in scientific contexts.
