I've originally studied social sciences, so my training uses maths but its core is words. I dislike symbol only notation. Real words trigger different parts of my brain. I am very good at memorizing content and flow of texts but bad at keeping symbols in my head. I have the same issue with language, e.g. I have no problem with pinyin, but written Chinese characters are taxing me.
