This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

Its got to be a relatively small group who knows enough to understand loops and is also afraid of math symbols.

I'm in that group I think. I do like a liiitle bit of coding in some tiny specific progrqmming language in one piece of software that I use. I understand the basics but try to avoid having to do it. But while code is a little scary to me, math is much scarier lol
