Abstract: This paper proposes that there is a relation between numbers and letters. This relation may exist in all types of different and “π” in , Latin, and "ط" languages. This research focuses on the reason of choosing some mathematical symbols like English languages. Also, this paper presents some relations between months, weeks, and days in Arabic, English, and Latin languages.

1. Introduction that it was called numerals and the illustration is shown in Table 2: Throughout the ages people think that there is a tie There is a very lack of references that describe the between letters and numbers. In Hebrew, each letter relation between letters and numbers. This paper corresponds to a number. As a result, any word or name presents a new view to the relation between letters and can become a series of numbers. Numbers can be taken numbers. It is tried to answer the question: Is the one at a time or added together. There is significance when words include or add up to the same numbers; the Table 1 The Hebrew Letters and Their Numeric Values. meanings of the words that share numbers are thought to be deeply related or even identical. [1] Hebrew consists of 22 letters. The first nine letters, through Tet, represent the lower part of Bina. The next nine, Yod through Tzadik, stand for Zeir Anpin, and the last four, Kof through Tav, stand for Malchut, the creature itself. In addition to the “regular” letters, there are five final letters in Hebrew. If you look at the illustration in Table 1, you will see that they are not new letters; they bear the same names as letters in the original 22. Also, Muslims used abjad numerals, abjad numerals are numerical system in which the 28 letters of Table 2 The Arabic and English Letters and Their the Arabic are assigned numerical values.

2. π-number

The constant ratio is considered one of the most important mathematic numbers and constants. Years ago at the earliest of the human civilization, it gained its huge popularity specially with Egyptians, Greeks, Chinese and Indians. We can say that all different types of civilization cared about it. The amazing effect of π-number took place in architecture and calculations of areas and volumes. The accretion and development of calculating the constant ratio represents the parallel development of in Arabic (اﯾﺎم اﻻﺳﺒﻮع) the entire mathematic field.[2] 3.
