Note that I wrote “Mathematicians who are motivated to learn these skills are well positioned to do so,” which is a weaker claim than that mathematicians are known to have highly transferable skills. I’m fairly confident that what I said is true in most cases, but this is based on a lot of tacit knowledge, which is difficult to externalize.
