Of course you wouldn't write it all out like that in any programming language. But instead of writing code like this:
y = a * x + b
You could write code like this:
height = slope * run + ground
It may not be helpful to write out simple math using colloquial language, but it can be helpful to future maintainers if your variables have meaningful names. Calling it "a variable" instead of "a" is not useful, but calling it "slope" can be.
