I could be completely wrong, but I doubt any of my (US) professors would reference an ISO definition, and may not even know it exists. Mathematicians in my experience are far less concerned about the terminology or symbols used to describe something as long as they’re clearly defined. In fact, they’ll probably make up their own symbology just because it’s slightly more convenient for their proof.

From what i understand, you can pay iso to standardise anything. So it's only useful for interoperability.

Can I pay them to make my dick length the ISO standard?

I feel they have an image to maintain, but i also feel they would sell out for enough money. So.. tell me if you make it.
