Science! It is part of mathematics .... Right?

Really? I thought Math is a part of it

Re: Science

Hi;

I think they are two separate studies. Very different.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Science

We have a problem with that.

Mathematics is the abstract study of quantity,structure, space,  change and many other topics. It has no generally accepted definition.

Re: Science

Some people like to classify Mathematics as a Science. I proposed in the title that Science actually is a part of Mathematics. Makes sense ... right?

I tend to agree with this.

Re: Science

I think science and mathematics are different studies.But science needs maths,though maths doesn't need science.In that sense science is part of mathematics.

That they do, I tend to think of it as an art. Something requiring talent.
