German as the language of mathematics.
It allows for long composite words, which still have some concrete, tangible meaning. Its sentences can be complex yet they remain intuitive. And the mature writer can throw in concrete everyday notions, slang, to give added meaning to an abstract concept.
van der Waerden is a master of all of these.
(I live, work and write in English, and I love English and its writers with all my heart. Interestingly, my favourite English novelist is Joseph Conrad, whose native language was Polish.
