[someone] is a/an [adjective] mathematician
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes say *"He is a mathematic"* instead of *"He is a mathematician"*. "Mathematic" is not used as a noun for a person. Another common mistake is using it too broadly for anyone who simply likes math; in many contexts, "mathematician" suggests a professional or highly trained expert.

Dažna klaida:
Learners may not realize this sense can be informal and a bit loose. In sentences like "I'm no mathematician," the speaker usually means "I'm not very good at math" or "I'm not an expert," not that they literally have a different profession.
Sinonimai
math whiz (Informal expression that strongly emphasizes being very quick and clever at math.)
Antonimai
no good at math (Describes someone who is weak in math, the opposite of being a skilled 'mathematician' in this informal sense.)
