Hoo boy. I can read source code just fine, evaluate it in my head, understand the math. Looping, recursion, no problem.
But show me the equivalent function in mathematical notation, and I'm like 🫠 may as well be the language of aliens from another galaxy.
Guess I should've studied harder in school instead of nerding out on the computer as a kid…
Please tell me I'm not the only one who's like this.
