Question

what is the difference between maths and science​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Math is not science. Sciences seek to understand some aspect of phenomena, and is based on empirical observations, while math seeks to use logic to understand and often prove relationships between quantities and objects which may relate to no real phenomena. Scientific theories may be supported by evidence, but not proven, while we can actually prove things in math. On the other hand, math is like science, and emphasizing the difference may really work against math. I find my students often have no sense of how anyone would actually “do math,” for example, how we think of things to try and prove. Students do seem to have a sense of how people “do science,” and they find it correspondingly less intimidating. With this in mind I have been working to convince my students that math often works pretty much like science. Joseph Silverman lays this out in his book A Friendly Introduction to Number Theory (which I am teaching from this semester, and he says this in chapter 1, accessible here) really nicely–in number theory, we gather data by computing a lot of examples. Then we search for a pattern, make a hypothesis, and test it against additional data (more examples). If the hypothesis doesn’t match the new data, we revise it. After some iterations, when new data matches our hypothesis, we finally try to prove the hypothesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Science is a body of knowledge about the Universe. Mathematics is a language that can describe relationships and change in relationships in a rational way. Science generally uses mathematics as a tool to describe science.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sciences seek to understand some aspect of phenomena, and is based on empirical observations, while math seeks to use logic to understand and often prove relationships between quantities and objects which may relate to no real phenomena.
