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.

Your problem isn't with math, but with its colloquial syntax
Sorry, but to learn math, you've to learn it's syntax first, which is where most students completely abandond science in favour of easier subjects (like liberal arts).
 
more generally with natural language.
Doubt anyone understands natural language in every case, because any natural sentence could be interpreted in several ways.
