If this is is still a problem thirty years after the invention of the web, then I say: So much the worse for mathematical notation. In the future, mathematical ideas will be expressed in other ways.
- spookie 2y agoMathematical notation, even when considering all its faults, won't be easy to replace. Simple math, maybe. But, for anything complex, any other symbol would require completely different ways of being expressed, if your aim is to make it more readable for newcomers that is.
- shiandow 2y agoYou severely underestimate mathematicians' ability to cling to older more convenient forms of expression. I imagine blackboards and chalk will be used in advanced mathematics for a few centuries yet.
