However, some education researchers and students keep a distance from anything mathematical: algebraic equations, geometrical reasoning, or statistical symbols. How to lower the access threshold for this type of mathematical narrative and reveal the meanings of a range of quantum conceptions to modern educators thus becomes a real problem. Using the pendulum motion equation as a reference point, I argue in this article for the advantages of academic English or French writing genres that fuse a range of mathematical symbols of quantum concepts and conceptual change. Such writings help demonstrate how incorporating the idea of probability (a) refines the debate among conceptual, verbal, and mathematical academic writing; (b) allows new conceptions that draw on the insights from quantum cognition-supported theories; (c) helps explain students’understanding of mathematical symbols; and (d) offers a new taxonomy for categorizing academic writings.  \nKeywords: academic writing, quantum concepts, probability, taxonomy, mathematical narrative  \n* [li81@uwindsor.ca](li81@uwindsor.ca)  \nIntroduction  \nIn 2022 , the federal government of Canada published its position statement, Canada’s National Quantum Strategy, characterizing the nation as a quantum pioneer and envisioning a new strategy supported by three pillars: research, talent, and commercialization (Government of Canada, 2022) . The statement called for provincial and international collaboration to reinforce such a three-pronged foundation. However, the consulted stakeholders in this national strategy share a growing concern about the talent pool challenge that is likely to pose a counterproductive problem in implementing the future-shaping agenda. In this aspect, they noted that “(r)epresentation in key fields relevant to the quantum sector is currently imbalanced, so Canada is missing out on a critical supply of new ideas and talent in a highly competitive international market” (p. 21) . One way to restore the balance as liberal arts educators is to promote quantum educational programs, especially those using mathematical symbols and their epistemic significance in academic activities.  \nEven as advocated by the federal position statement, quantum-related conceptions tend to stir mixed feelings in some education researchers when contemplating the involvement of the underlying mathematical structures and their written expressions (Haven & Khrennikov, 2017) . Education researchers and students often keep a distance from anything mathematical: algebraic equations, geometrical reasoning, or statistical symbols, ignoring their essential role in academic writing and embracing a mathematical symbol-free writing style (Hutto, 2013; Hutto & Myin, 2014) . At the other end of the attitude spectrum toward mathematical expressions, some education researchers try to fill up a page with an array of mathematical or statistical equations without a clear explanation of the underlying conceptual structure familiar to most readers (Hõhn, 2017) . Either writing style is unsatisfactory for the purpose of instruction, especially when understanding quantum conceptions is one of the long-term goals of instructional activities.
