Code can easily be tested, which makes it so much more usable and verifiable in my view. Not to mention how easily you can teach it, and how students can experiment with it on their own time. Proving equations is much trickier. I also never understand why you always need to use proofs in maths to show you understand something, yet it's the only way. This makes it frustrating to do math. Even good mathematicians come up with flawed proofs, which I find weird. Meanwhile if you use data you can often visualize and test something. Data is more concrete. I concede that you cannot express everything in code, but I'm amazed at how simple things in code can grow into unnecessarily complex math which becomes a barrier for many people. > while there exists swathes of people out there in the science and math world who find code impenetrable I find that laughable. People who do well in math should be smart enough to learn how to code. Programming language are easily taught. It has become a necessity in any science field to be able to write code to do decent work.
