I'm not sure where you are coming from. I recognize the sentiment, but I don't feel it for this one. The mathematical notation used here is commonly taught in high schools. The basics of Probability Theory, and Integrals are prerequisite to the introduction. p(x|y) means the chance that x happens if y happened - that notation is more common in the US I believe. There even is accompanying code. MatLab is admittedly less common than python, but the code looks nearly the same as it would in NumPy. This might seem intimidating, but is conceptually rather easy.
