Names won’t help you understand the fundamentals. It will help you follow the logic, given the fundamentals are understood. For example I’m reading a PDF now where you have 6 variables involved - 2x2 matrix D which is decomposed to variables [g h], a set of points R, two points defining a parallelogram P and a vector v — where the definitions are a scattered (based on order introduction/definition to the pdf, since they’re used for other things as well). I have to keep a LUT to follow any given formula because it’s just plain hard to keep track of anything. And of course, the second I convert it to code, it all gets real names with arbitrary intermediaries and at least I can read it through in a single pass. Names are there to remind you what the hell you’re talking about. Mathematics on the other hand always try to be as general as possible — your formulas don’t want to discuss anything specific; any object that fits the required properties will do, starting subject/context be damned.
