You don’t even need to go much more advanced than the example. I’d say that _most_ mathematical notation is inexpressible or hard to express as a program. If the same equation was the sigma between 0 and infinite, it would be perfectly innocent maths but can’t really be expressed as a procedure.

And that is very very basic.. From then on it only gets worse.
