LEXMATH - A tool for the study of available lexicon in mathematics

Abstract

To have a good command of the language, not only allows us to write effectively a message, but it also helps us to understand what the other person wants to communicate. Students are in the process of learning to master the language. In particular, as they increase their level of education, they find a series of new terms (lexicon), which need to be understood using appropriate strategies, not only in the subjects of humanistic education, but also in scientific training and especially in mathematics. In the study of the lexicon, from their different points of view, the use lexical statistics gains in importance, which gives us the possibility of quantifying the lexical units of a language using different statistical indicators. Through this work the LexMath tool will be described. This software was developed for the purpose of having an online software on the Internet, for measuring the vocabulary of a particular group in a specific area and present easily the main indicators for the study of the latent lexicon of a given population, and the graphs which enable the study of semantic relations formed between them.
