I agree. Not everyone thinks or solves problems in the same ways, and math notation has historically favored only one type of cognition. More visual approaches

I agree. Not everyone thinks or solves problems in the same ways, and math notation has historically favored only one type of cognition. More visual approaches using touch screens or spatial / tactile ones using AR would be cool to see.
There may also exist types of math that are impossible to represent or reason about with current notation.
