Math is not science - regardless of whether it’s masquerading as computer science or certain branches of theoretical physics.

This makes me sound down on mathematics which I’m certainly not. It’s both useful and can be profoundly beautiful. And it can be an integral tool in science — or studied on its own merits. But it’s not science.
