I'd say that a knowledge of mathematics is where the meaning of "let" will most often come from. I'm sure we've all read things like "Let x be the speed of a train..."

I don’t like “let” because of my math dept in school was all “= is pronounced is” for some reason (long time ago)

“let n is 10”

Tear some hair out every time, as I can’t get my brain to stop

Why would the pronunciation of the equals sign not be "equals"?
