except that mathematicians like to use shortcuts notation everywhere, shortcuts that only them understand... For example P(A|B,C) ?= P(A|B;C). Moreover, mathematician seems driven by a frugal principle. They try to condense their though in the smallest number of symbols. To me it's like writing a Perl program with the shortest amount of text. Of course, the result is right, but it's super hard to understand. |

Non-mathematicians discover something and then want the largest number of people to understand that thing as well, and they want to be the ones explaining it and see the sparkle in the eyes of the ones receiving the information and "getting it" for the first time.
Mathematicians want their peers to understand first and foremost in the quickest way possible, they then rely on 3rd parties to explain it to people who they consider "normies", they slap their name on the theorem or the demonstration and further use what they consider "subordinates" to explain it to the few "normies" who want to make an effort to understand it.
