Dare I point out that "Mathematical <whatever>" is popularly perceived
as meaning "it's there, but it's of purely academic interest,
and you can safely ignore it" - as in the difference between
"there is a probability that Ipswich will win the League"
and
"there is a mathematical probability that Ipswich will win the League".
Some public relations work is clearly in order.
