Had to do a double-take to make sure this wasn't /s
It's my opinion that the use of random symbols is the primary reason math is so inaccessible. It is for me, and anecdotally I've heard dozens of others say the same thing. The only imaginable benefit I can see to using symbols is that they're easier to write quickly on a chalkboard.
By doing this consistently, I can highlight the link between math symbol and corresponding concept, and help the student learn how to read and interpret dense constructions as we go.
(Note that this approach is intended to be used as part of a larger explanatory strategy, so please assume the example is embedded in an appropriate context.)
Is this coded? Do you have it open source?
"Readability" is a highly, highly subjective matter, and depends on one's education, background, knowledge, experience etc. People seem to use it as a shorthand for "math-like shorthand", but that's not what I mean when I say readable, it's like we speak in a different language.
Personally I find the adjective "readable" a major trigger, it seems to be thrown around by people who are either trolling or who seem to live in a kind of a social (online) bubble and don't know anyone else with a even a slightly different background. This is always slightly shocking to me.
But just bad as or maybe worse are the variable names which are random, short, and completely non-descriptive. If you compare it to source-code, it's like the worst code ever written.
