Those aren't the worst offenders. I'm referring to curry, cadr, lambda, monad, etc.
But map is confusing: it's also a data structure. "Wait, does map() create a new key-value dictionary?" Filter and collect are okay. Reduce is pretty arcane but tolerable, but the actual operation feels intuitively closer to "categorize" or "group."
My point about math was cultural. Math seems to revel in having its own peculiar and often even domain specific (even within mathematics!) terms and symbols for things.
And math has locally defined terms because one cannot give every concept a unique short meaningful memorable name. That is no different in computer science, where 'integer' can include negative numbers or not, may or may not wrap around, can be any number of bits or potentially unlimited, may include minus zero, etc.
