    @Affekt @futurebird @zens @jayalane @EverydayMoggie

    Weirdly enough, we never even ventured into Cyrillic, and barely into Hebrew (two letters!)
    Never Arabic. Nor hiragana / katakana / kanji.

      @timjan @Affekt @futurebird @jayalane @EverydayMoggie again, “running out of letters” is a problem with maths notation’s design, not with handwriting quality.

      @timjan @Affekt @futurebird @jayalane @EverydayMoggie like, this is just my opinion of course, but it seems like a lot of the choices in how mathematical notation works are explicitly classist in nature, and are designed to be difficult to learn, difficult to be understood by those without years of specific training, and difficult to talk about and be understood

      @timjan @Affekt @futurebird @jayalane @EverydayMoggie quite a lot about maths education is very specifically exhausting to students who do not have the resources outside of class to study- hired tutors, mathematically inclined parents, personal libraries, time and attention… etc

      @jayalane @timjan @Affekt @futurebird @EverydayMoggie there are complex and subtle things, but i disagree that most of the notation helps in understanding, but rather gets in the way

      @zens @timjan @Affekt @futurebird @EverydayMoggie the years of training also impart some of the subtleties of meaning. I mean I don't think math is a socially engaged subject as much as would be useful, but there are periodic waves of simplification where they go back and redo old cumbersome approaches for simpler ones. There just really is a whole lot of complex and subtle things to get into your mind.
