I agree. Not everyone thinks or solves problems in the same ways, and math notation has historically favored only one type of cognition. More visual approaches using touch screens or spatial / tactile ones using AR would be cool to see.

There may also exist types of math that are impossible to represent or reason about with current notation.

If you are interested in mathematical notations, check out Terry Tao's comment [0][1] on desirable properties of math notations. It was discussed not long ago [2].
