Is there something that translates math formula into code? There are many (comparatively) "simple" algorithms I simply cannot make heads or tails when they are described via math prose or math formula, but when it's code I basically instantly know how to rewrite it into any other language I know, at least, and sometimes that's a starting point for poking at it to understand it a bit better, if not the same way would if you understood all the underlying math.

For poor old me, too many wikipedia articles on algorithms useful mostly or only for programming are described in formulas rather than simply code with detailed comments. Scrap the whole page and just gimme the code :( Not even to copy and paste, because that's a language I can understand, and enjoy learning.
