I found thinking in terms of Mathematica and MatLab helped me think about math syntax as it is more complete.
- cgearhart 11y agoThe syntax of any programming language is easier to grok because it is more concrete - not because it is more complete. It is not so much that "math is stuck using punch cards", but rather that you only really need as much formality as it takes to express the central idea - which is far short of what would be required for a concrete implementation.
