I'm not exactly clear on what you mean by "mathematical language" in this context as mathematical notation is clearly filled with ambiguity, so I have to assume it is something else you are getting at. Can you elaborate on that ?

I said least ambiguous, not free of ambiguity. I challenge you to name a community which strives for precise language more than professional mathematicians.
