Dear mathematicians,
Fuck tensor notation. Honestly.
I can't think of a single system that's more inconsistent and needlessly self-obfuscating. When a formula can be more clearly expressed using pseudocode, that's when you should realize you've done something wrong.

PS: Don't even get me started on knot theory. You make playing with string look like interuniversal geometry.
