The conciseness of math and physics has to do with notation that’s been developed over centuries and taught over the course of over a decade to students in most developed countries. I’m sure if you went to your “Math for x non-stem degree” course at your local university you’d see students equally befuddled by a soup of notation and terms they haven’t encountered.
- mhh__ 4y agoThe notation exists because it can be applied to the field, because the field can be applied to reality. It's not solely invention. Engineers love ruining physics but at very least they can still be ugly rather than bloated.

Non-Euclidean geometry has applications to reality, but before these applications were known, how did they determine that the notation would appropriately apply to the field?
