There is an inherent complexity in a lot of mathematics. The compact notation makes it much easier (or even possible) to understand what is going on. Compare something like equals(integral(divide(exponentiate(negate(divide(square(var),2))),sqrt(multiply(2,constant_pi))),var,negate(infinity),infinity),1) vs $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{e^{-x^2/2}}{\sqrt{2\pi}}dx = 1$$ (imagine the actual generated mathematical formula here :-/ ) it is infinitely easier to grok what is going on using symbolic notation after a minimal amount of learning. |
