Bloody Mathematicians always write the worst code. Literally. You try refactoring their code and it's all variable names with single letters that you can't search for to check whether there is a side effect. Or non descriptive short function names that give no clue as to what the function does. The mindset of a mathematician is that you automatically know everything about their code.
The lecturer should be sent on a software engineering course.
