This post confuses me. Why would code be simpler than the math notation? Both involve symbolic abstraction of basically the same complexity

Its got to be a relatively small group who knows enough to understand loops and is also afraid of math symbols.

I believe this group could be bigger than some may think. I, and the team I work with, work with for loops similar to these on a regular basis. And only one of us has a bachelor's degree in math. The rest of us don't really understand the math unless it is applied.
