When you do math you invent new language, ie you add notation and describe what they mean. The math is the actual concepts, not the language you create, an other person could have structured his language for this problem very differently yet ultimately describing the same thing.
Edit: To clarify better, the way you solve math is that first you solve the problem, then you figure out how to communicate the solution. This can either use language people created before or you create new language, you can just use English or you can just draw pictures and have no words at all. Either way you are doing maths.
