The most likely place to be hanging around mathematicians is at a school, and that's also where you would expect to hear students complaining about notation as an impediment to learning.
- Someone 7y agoI don’t think it is a given that students are good judges about what impedes them from learning. Having said that, I personally have never had issues with notation in mathematics nor did I have the impression others I helped had. IMO, abstraction is the main stumbling block, not notation.
- Grustaf 7y agoI’m talking about the math institutions at the two universities I attended, I took a lot of phd classes. But same with students, the complaint has never been about notation. In fact the only people that seem to complain about notation is computer programmers who find it too loose, but that is precisely its power.
