Sussman's critique of mathematical notation is hollow. I don't do enough math to have a useful opinion, but it strikes me that something as simple as 1 + 1 = 2 is ambiguous (does f = x+x or x+1?) and using unambiguous notation would be tedious and useless. Unless you're trying to turn it into a program. I sometimes think of programming as the opposite of math.
