Don't Be Afraid... Math And Computing Are Allies
Look, that intimidating Sigma and Pi notation you avoided in college? Yeah, they're just fancy for-loops with better PR. Summation is literally sum += 3*n and Product is prod *= 2*n . That's it. Mathematicians really said "let's make simple iteration look like ancient Greek spellcasting" and then wondered why people have math anxiety. Meanwhile, your average dev writes these same operations daily without breaking a sweat. The real plot twist? Once you realize math notation is just verbose pseudocode written by people who peaked before computers existed, algorithms suddenly become way less scary. Your CS degree just demystified centuries of mathematical gatekeeping in one tweet.

The moment you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise. Sigma (Σ) is literally just a sum += operation, and Pi (Π) is just prod *= in a trench coat. Years of math anxiety could've been avoided if they'd just shown us the code equivalent first. Next they'll tell us integrals are just while loops with extra steps.

The moment when you realize those intimidating Greek symbols from calculus are just fancy for-loops in disguise! The Σ (sigma) notation is literally just a sum = 0 followed by a for-loop that adds stuff up. And that scary Π (pi) symbol? Just a prod = 1 with a for-loop that multiplies things together. Computer science majors smugly realizing they've been doing advanced math all along without the pretentious notation. Take that, pure mathematicians!

BREAKING NEWS: Those terrifying mathematical hieroglyphics that gave you nightmares in college are just glorified for-loops in disguise! 😱 The Sigma (Σ) and Pi (Π) symbols – the ancient runes that made you question your life choices – are nothing but fancy hats for code you write every single day! The AUDACITY of mathematicians to make simple iteration look like you need a PhD just to understand it! Next they'll tell us calculus is just spicy arithmetic! THE BETRAYAL!
