Math

After I started to study Mathematics in English, I felt that it is really a subject which mainly developed in the Western culture.
I feel so, because I can understand many rules of Math more easily by studying it in English than in Japanese. One reason of this could be the word order. Japanese has almost the opposite word order from English. We make a sentence in this order; subject, object, then verb. This system could be not suite for explaining Math.
