Thank you for your help Yves! I'd say it's not as important to be formally correct in terms of mathematical notations. It's always better to express things as if you were talking to a retard. Using formal notations is a great way of expressing equations but it requires a lot of reading if you don't have an adequate math education.
I have a senior high school edication in physics, math, chemistry and other science oriented subjects. Therefore my ability to understand equations is good enough to get me through a lot of math-stuff. Math notation is something I'm not good at. My point here is that you don't necessarily need to know math notation to be able to comprehend the concepts of math.
If your target audience is those who has a higher education than say me, then formal notation is probably best way to go. However for a broader audience, I'd say a slightly lower/simpler level of formal notations might be the better option. The steady state derivatives could be expressed as simple variables. For example: CL_de + CL_de_M. You would only need to explain how you get those variables from the relevant tables.
I'm probably ignorant but those are my thoughts.
