This, it's clearly just the notation that's the issue. I believe that CS has notation better figured out than the math world in general. Since there's way more emphasis on good abstractions, and overall language design (due to the different use case). While mathematicians seem to be much more focused on the underlying concepts, the notation being an afterthought.

While there indeed is some ugly notation out there, I usually find that most of it is pretty straightforward once you understand the underlying concepts.

It usually only seems like bad notation if I am misunderstanding things.
