In addition to the other commenters, I would also add that the more the rigor, the more concise the language used to express it can be. I once heard the comment "Math is a purely manmade language". I think that is true, and its language can be really, really terse, usually because everything that builds on foundational principles can be rolled up into even more terse language. Physics, chemistry etc. less so because it is an observation of the stuff around us, which starts getting more ambiguous. People cannot even agree if economics is a science, it certainly does not possess much rigor (in the sense of reproducible experiments) and it intersects too much with human behavior which is wildly unpredictable.
