The article deals with the problem of expressing one of the principal parts of a sentence - the subject - not as a grammatical but as a semantic unit in English algebraic texts. The term �semantic subject’ is introduced as a word or a word combination meaning a single concept to be stated by the predicate. Due to the character of mathematics requiring the utmost accuracy, the subject may include a number of members and no one can be omitted. Otherwise the statement becomes false or at least approximate. The aim of the article is to describe the content and the ways of connection between members in a semantic subject. The data analyzed are useful for teaching professional English and while creating educational aids.

Key words: математический текст, структура, семантический субъект, mathematical texts, structure, semantic subject
