professional in the field of mathematics
A person who works in mathematics, usually doing research or teaching at a high level.
Kullanım kalıbı:
[someone] is a/an [adjective] mathematician
Sık yapılan hata:
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.
