This is true, but mathematical jargon is more broadly applicable. (Though at this level of detail I would roll stats in with probabilty and hence pretend it is part of maths). I've been a physicist and am now a software engineer. I can use the maths based jargon in both those fields, but not vice versa. That's partly because everyone in a STEM field had to learn at least some maths. But more importantly: maths is about the logical interconnection of things, while the things themselves are substitutable. So it is no suprise that its jargon can be applied in many fields.
