Morphology
Both constituents are semantically transparent: 'mathematical' means relating to mathematics and 'notation' means conventional symbols, so a learner who knows both words can easily infer it refers to the system of symbols used in mathematics. This adjective + noun composition is direct and common across languages, making the meaning immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Mathematical notation comes from the idea of using mathematical signs as notation, a 'short way to write' maths: early writers turned long words and steps into small marks like +, = and √ so they could work faster. So today the phrase means the system of symbols and simple rules that show mathematical ideas.
