Made me remember this. If only the 'upper' fields adopt mathematical naming where applicable :D
I've been a physicist and am now a software engineer. I can use the maths based jargon in both those fields, but not vice versa.
That's partly because everyone in a STEM field had to learn at least some maths. But more importantly: maths is about the logical interconnection of things, while the things themselves are substitutable. So it is no suprise that its jargon can be applied in many fields.
