Reading new maths and frustrated that the notation is ridiculously inaccessible to newcomers. Why does this field have such a problem with stating things in a way that's easy to follow? Why does do symbolic meanings change fundamentally between areas in math?
Replying to @NikolaiVazquez
Each field of math develops its own notation over time - the more they communicate with neighbouring fields, the more consistency you'll find. If the field is isolated, there might be all kind of idiosyncrasies. Introductory books/paper are always the best place to learn symbols.
