Well, I think the difference between developer symbols and math symbols is that developer symbols are lot more google-able. I can google a line of code, but it's hard to google a crap ton of greek letters and summations. Even if I did manage to parse it into a google search somehow, I probably wouldn't get any meaningful results.

Also, for me personally, it's just such a drag to learn all the notation. After the fact, I've always thought, "Wow, that's all this means?" but while I'm learning, I feel helpless. It doesn't feel like I have any way to google it. My professors never actually want to sit down and explain it to me. All the pages of math equations always look so intimidating. It's just such a drag.
