[lojban] Using Lojban in 'very' defined contexts (eg. maths)

["M.Nael" <muhammad.nael@gmail.com>]

Would this work?

My native language is Arabic yet I've studied Mathematics since age 3 in English... Arabic has the disadvantage of having 'too-many syllables' as opposed to (usually) 1-2 in English.

This is most visible in numbers. Arabic 'One' is 'wa?id' | 'Two' is 'i0na:n' | 'Three' is '0la:0ah' and so on.

Even with English being more efficient here (and I've grown to use its number-words in mental calculation), I still find myself saying 'three-thousand bla-bla-hundred), ...etc. Lojban number-words should make up for this, thus:

My question is: how much would training for 'pa-ci-re' instead of 'one-hundred, thirty-two' etc... be beneficial for my mental calculations? And if I decided to extend this to the whole of my mathematical thinking?

Has anyone tried to use just the maths (and generally science-part) of Lojban?
