I guess how to read mathematics depends strongly on the context or the subfield you are looking into.
A simple example: a superscript can mean exponentiation or an index.
Also, sometimes it is preferred to leave out symbols that occur often, to avoid clutter. One example is dropping the sigmas out of equations, and infer they exist by looking at indices.
