Math is a mental game with NO required correlation to reality.
On the other hand,

∙ 10y agoSimilarities:
- Maths is a type of science because it tries to explain the natural world around us by simplifying problems and allowing us to find a solution - that's how scientific theories are made too.
Differences:
- In science, you cannot prove or disprove anything - you can only give a theory to explain why things are they way we observe them to be. In maths, you can produce proofs and also disproofs following a few simple processes.
- In science, experiments add evidence to support theories. In maths, experiments are rarely needed as the numbers justify themselves.
- Science can deal with situations which are 'undefined' in maths. An example is 1/0 - this is undefined in maths but it may have meaning in science.
- Scientists usually peer-review each others' work. Mathematicians do not necessarily need to do this, provided their calculations are OK.
