@shana when I was doing the maths parts of my degree, I very quickly realised that maths notation is the problem with why maths is difficult.
Borring from the field of computer science to remove all the greek characters that often have multiple uses [1] and rename operators with descriptors could make it way more accessible.

@tautology That might have been why my high school math teacher made me promise I would not go into maths in exchange for a passing grade. I ended up in computers instead which totally has no maths whatsoever! (in hindsight, not the best maths teacher)
