I first encountered the Riemman-Roch theorem in Fulton ("Algebraic Curves") where it was stated in the form l(D) − l(K − D) = deg(D) − g + 1 (actually, I think W was used for the canonical divisor there), and only later became aware of the cohomological intepreation and proof. Perhaps the article could benefit from a more elementary statement at the outset, followed by the more modern interpretation and treatment.

Elermentary statement?
