I was just getting ready to ask HN about this when I happneed across this article. I learned advanced(ish) math the hard way, depth first from a coding pov, and not really having a handle on some core concepts, so reading math formulas was kind of difficult for a while when I really wanted to learn how to actually speak mathematics, not just do it in code.
Anyways, I found this article pretty informative and figured I'd share.
