    Modern mathematical notation using symbols was largely developed in the 16th century to make mathematics easier to develop compared to writing everything out in words. Leonhard Euler created many symbols still used today in the 18th century. While notation makes math easier for experts, beginners can find it frustrating because symbols pack a lot of information concisely and have a strict syntax like musical notation to efficiently convey complex information.

    Most of the mathematical notation in use today was only invented in the 16th

    century. Before that, mathematics was written in words, a tedious process that
    hindered the development of mathematics. Euler (1707–1783) was the creator of
    many of the symbols in use today. Modern notation makes math easier for math
    experts, but math beginners often find it frustrating. The symbols are extremely
    concise: some symbols contain a lot of information. Like musical notation, modern
    mathematical notation has a tight syntax and contains information that would be
    difficult to write in any other way.
