Language is the method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in
a structured and conventional way. Also, a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance
and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; a language is any
specific example of such a system. The scientific study of language is called linguistics
1. VERBAL COMMUNICATION
Verbal communication seems like the most obvious of the different types of communication. It utilizes the
spoken word, either face-to-face or remotely. Verbal communication is essential to most interactions, but
there are other nonverbal cues that help provide additional context to the words themselves. Pairing
nonverbal communication with the spoken word provides a more nuanced message.
Nonverbal communication provides some insight into a speaker’s word choice. Sarcasm, complacency,
deception or genuineness occur within nonverbal communication. These things are often communicated
through facial expressions, hand gestures, posture and even appearance, all of which can convey something
about the speaker. For instance, a disheveled speaker with wrinkled clothes and poor posture would
communicate a lack of confidence or expertise. A speaker with a nice suit, who stood up straight and spoke
clearly, may appear more serious or knowledgeable.
3. VISUAL COMMUNICATION
Visual types of communication include signs, maps or drawings as well as color or graphic design. These
typically reinforce verbal communication, and they help to make a point. Visual aids can help a speaker
remember important topics, give the audience something to look at, and generally help convey the message
being presented.
What is Mathematics?
Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own
right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering ( applied
mathematics ). Mathematics includes the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change.
Mathematicians seek and use patterns to formulate new conjectures; they resolve the truth or falsity of
conjectures by mathematical proof
