    Mathematicians are taught to be elastic with notation, because they tend to be taught many different interpretations of the same theory.

    On the other hand engineers use more strict and consistent notation, their classes have a more practical approach.

    Using the same notation makes it faster to read and apply math, a more agile approach helps with learning new theories and approaches and with being creative.
