Interesting I never saw j from a maths person. Friends (from a decade ago!) in electronics eng dep said they use j because i was reserved for current.

j is pretention when a math doer does it. j is for engineers and you don’t even understand the bubble ratio filtering equation let alone be asking to envision what temp you did the mAEth in.
You got lost in the number of letters instead of realizing the MeTowel’s important presence til that EOTU moment of that manufa turing of Big Black Goles you get to watch it all happen again as Thanos facepalms.

As an EE, I used both. Def not a mathematician though. Fuck that, I just plug variables into programs now.

I have both mechanical and electrical backgrounds. MEs like I, EEs prefer j
