Abstract

By “comparing” everyday language and mathematical statements we realize the importance of quantifying properly the objects in mathematics. The phrases “there exist(s)” and “for every” are called “quantifiers” and play this role. “At least”, “at most”, “exactly” are other frequently used terms in a mathematical discourse, while other common terms of everyday language like “some” or “one” can hide some ambiguities. This chapter presents some simple examples which show uses (and possible misuses) of the above basic expressions.
