Lol there's lots of branches to Psychology, and quite a few of them involve analyzing the unmapped brain so lots of it is just shots in the dark. But quite a bit of it is making predictions based on Bio-feed back or something of the sort. Also, Psychology as a science is quite related to Biology, maybe not as an art, that's typically mixed up with Philosophy.

Saras:
I don't really consider math a science. It's a tool, an excellent multi-purpose tool, but nothing more.

Do you call a physicist's, piece of paper, pen and glasses as science? If not, why should one count math?

Burkingam:
Sciences are fields of knowledge acquired using the scientific method. Math doesn't use the scientific method, therefor it is not a science. Sociology does use it, even though it doesn't work that well, therefor sociology is a science.

Nikkoru:
Mathematics is an umbrella terms for a group of related sciences. Geometry, algebra, calculus, statistics, and so on. It is, to borrow the dictionary definition, the systematic understanding of the relationships between figures and forms -- which figures and forms determine the nature of the science.

I studied statistics predominately, a science and a branch of mathematics.
