Mathematics is shit

Just look at these ugly swatches of code:

That is what you get, when programming immitates math. Even Java and PHP looks beautiful compared to that. Mathematics should be banned as a harmful and obfuscated teaching.

If I learned chinese, I'm sure I could read it as easily as anyone else.
How do you know? How do we know? How do they know?

only because I have not yet learned chinese.
Learning chinese would take years of practice, while living in China. You can learn Chinese and it's usage using dead textbook.

You are missing his point. Your problem isn't with math itself, but with not taking the time to understand what the symbols mean.
I can learn Lisp by reading the first chapters of SICP. Doubt there is an quick article which will teach you how to translate http://www.cse.unt.edu/~idl99/Proceedings/ahn/img50.gif into plain english.
