Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Maya help says:
Material - In rendering, a description of what an object looks like when it is rendered.
Also known as shader.
Shader - The specification of properties and lighting for a surface.
See material.

So, with that in mind, the entire connected nodes in the Hypershade (materials, textures, utilities, etc) that creates an effect I define as a Shader or Shading Group.
The material nodes (Lambert, Blinn, etc) are what I refer to as materials.
That's just me, though. But it works to keep it straight in my head when I explain it to others.
