    Higher math is actually notorious for this. The notation someone uses is a product of when they went to school, where they learned stuff, and what the background of their teacher was. There's absolutely no standardization, despite what you'd naturally think. It's a mess.

          Edit: In all seriousness, though mathematicians should copy chemists and develop some kind of standardized notation.
