If the general hacker news sentiment is anything to go by, then it’s just hard because of the archaic mathematical notation. If we could just use better notation then a simple mathematical bootcamp would make mathematics accessible to all the brilliant self-taught programmers as well /sarcasm.

If only those pesky physicist and mathematicians would name their variables correctly everything would become self-evident.

Newton, why do you want to name this the 6th dimensional electron-graviton interference coefficient? Just call it G for gravity!

Just the lack of syntax and type checking is a serious burden on folks who don't have those committed to muscle memory.

That said, that's the easiest part of mathematics.
