The title of the article is, “Once again, the only way forward is the Mac”

“Take this quote from William Hamilton […]

We belong to opposite poles of algebra; since you… seem to consider Algebra as a ‘System of Signs and of their combinations,’ somewhat analogous to syllogisms expressed in letters; while I am never satisfied unless I think that I can look beyond or through the signs to the things signified.

You catch that? William Hamilton, who gave us our bizarro non-commutative generalization of the complex numbers, didn’t want algebra to be a science of symbols alone.
[…]
In brief: Algebra isn’t just hard for surly teens. It’s hard for anyone with an intellectual commitment to symbols having meanings.”
