I think the reason mathematicians use single letter variables is because mathematics is about the way that people think about patterns, understand patterns, and the relationship between them. Therefore the letter is used to help our brain understand the connection between abstract concepts (Categories). As opposed to programming languages, where the goal is to do something practical, in pure mathematics, our goal is to create a language capable of helping our brains understand the infinite complexities of nature. https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/24241/why-do-mathem... |
