Boy, math is so utterly fundamental to my comprehension of the subject
that I can't imagine explaining it without math.


But math is also "Language" rather than "Image", at least as I experience
it. It took me a few moments to think of why you might experience it as
image. I'm guessing that you're having trouble with mathematical notation?


Do you have trouble with the mathematical notation being too "visual"
with respect to operations expressed by the relative locations and sizes
of terms? If that's the case would rewriting it with some kind of
text-based linear syntax (as in a programming language) help you?
