Sometimes, yes. Sometimes, no. But I'll bet their are plenty of mathematicians
who don't verbalize their equations. I agree with what Ham said about having
non-verbal concepts.

Okay. Give me an example of a number that is not a word.... As for whether or
not mathematicians "verbalize", I'd say that they have automated the reading
process, but if they did not have a word for "two" they could not "think" about
the number.
Maybe Ham can tell me a "non-verbal" concept or two while we are it...
