Which human language is best to learn for mathematics (after English ofc)?
>>

Chinese

Why would you learn any language besides English if you want to do research mathematics? Everyone else around the globe learns English to communicate their mathematical ideas, not the other way around. See: Perelman, Mochizuki, and of course every other professional modern mathematician (I just noted those 2 because most people on /sci/ will recognize their names immediately).

Why would you need to learn a language for mathematics?

Arabic, obviously. It's the official language in Europe.

>>8055354
In the past:
Latin
French
Russian
German

Future:
Prob Chinese

This post is correct.
For extremely historical stuff, classical Chinese, Sanskrit, and Arabic are relevant too.

>>8055387
Depends a little on your field, I'd say something like this:

Algebra: French/German
Analysis: German/Russian
Probability Theory: French/Russian

Sanskrit. It's the language of scholars.

There was actually a point with that.

and do you know how many people speak that kind of chinese?

If you do you would know it actually and important difference because chinese is saying ALL the languages in China when there isn't suck thing which is implying 100% speaks the same language which isn't true but about 75% speaks it which is a noteable difference.

>mfw even /pol/ would know this

French is remarkable for mathematical literature, reading a paper in french is much easier than with english
