how do you talk about math?

I've noticed a lot of math is thought of as visual spatial problems.
But how do you speak about math problems?
For example, suppose you have a second degree differential equation to solve.

D^2 y + y = 0

How would you explain and solve this problem if you were blind since birth and had no recourse to visualization abilities?
How would you speak a proof rather than show it?
