First time I heard someone talking about mathematics syntax:

(MIT Sussman, SICM book) http://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/s...

Weirdly enough, I always struggled with advanced syntax, but I recently understood that it was a lack of focus on the abstraction. Kinda like programming languages :) But that's something you can't really understand when too young.
