engineer here. you can easily plug n chug your way through a good portion of undergrad college math. i should know.

you just couldn't let me enjoy my casual racism?

That's the story everyone is fed, but if you do any EM, you'll know that [math]\vec{J}[/math] is in fact already defined as a volume current density, a more general concept than line current [math]\vec{I}[/math]. In fact, past basic electronics, I [math]never[/math] use [math]\vec{I}[/math].

Engineer's are fucking insufferable sometimes.

My contribution to the thread is spherical coordinates. Goddamn, I swear literally every permutation of coordinates has been standardized across all fields, be it math, physics, engineering, etc.

The mathematicians have their heads up their asses because the standard ordering of the coordinates does not yield a right handed coordinate system.

The physicists have their heads up their asses because [math]\theta[/math] should be azimuth like it is in polar coordinates.

The engineers make the same mistake that the physicist make.

Alas, why can't we use the labels mathematicians use, while still respecting right handed coordinates?
