Tida papm commenta on Galileo's ob&ervation on the advaotagea of the mathematical language to dea1 witb tbinp of Natme -unique language in which ita moat guardeei sec1eta can be ctiaclosed. The daily and mathemadcal Janguagea are compareci, the Jatter exln1>iting ita tremeodoua synt:hesis ability. The evolution of a namber of common conceptl is p.reeented, ctisplaying how difficult it was and long it took to tum them common. Eminent IICboJan paued by these concepts, although they needed them to solve aod develop a certain subject. M9ID8Dt of inero.ia and eJasdc.ity modulus ue two of these concepta. The obscure way Young defined the elasdcity modulus is shown indicating be thought it was a length, different from the currendy dimension, a temion. Several ways of interpleting tbe modulus ue worted out with their dimensiona.
