I think most people that have done a CS degree would at least know the word. My cs101 class talked about asymptotic notation.

Not CS but any study of limits in math, perhaps with differential equations. And it’s a useful term generally, much more likely to come up in conversation than “subtrahend” or “mantissa” but not nearly as much as “tangent.”

And that must be why I have yet to hear it, as I never took CS.
