Compactify

A graph of "Complexity of notation" over "Time". At first, the complexity increases as you're learning a new topic. But then it decreases as you learn how to write equations in a simpler way.

Unfortunately, we often present mathematics in the opposite order, where we show the nice and tidy formula which only makes sense to someone with a lot of experience and intuition on the subject.
