Honestly maths gets easier with letters because there is a lot less maths in it, at least in the traditional sense. Lot harder to make a numerical mistake.

a lot less maths

There's more maths, but less arithmetic.

Ah, who knew quantum field theory was easier than arithmetic.

But u can use a calculator to bypass numerical mistakes

Not the ones I make.

Calculators are still very error prone. It is very easy to press the wrong button or miss a digit without noticing.

You just need better calculator to operate on greek letters like Mathematica
