As a reasonably good computer programmer with a facility but no education in math, when I need to learn something new I always try to find some software program, typically something open source, that implements the math in question. Then I can work through the ambiguities of the equations by looking at the source code.
I'm not exactly clear on what you mean by "mathematical language" in this context as mathematical notation is clearly filled with ambiguity, so I have to assume it is something else you are getting at. Can you elaborate on that ?
I said least ambiguous, not free of ambiguity. I challenge you to name a community which strives for precise language more than professional mathematicians.
Whether or not it's worth it depends on how often you need to interact with it. I don't need to interact with math notation very often; maybe only a few times per year. Further, deciphering the math notation by referencing is translation is not a bad way to learn.
