  Physics, engineering, statistics, economics, and mathematically modeling in general aren’t science? Big claim there, bud.

    Calculus is a tool used in science, absolutely. But calculus itself is not science, in the same way that a chisel is not woodworking.

      Ah, ok. Then math isn’t science, it’s just a tool for physics, computer science, and such. Also physics isn’t science, it’s just a tool for engineering and biology. Biology isn’t science, it’s just a tool for medicine and agriculture.

        Sure, that’s exactly what I said. Speaking of tools…

    Engineering is not science. It uses science to make decisions.

        I’m not familiar with what they do. Describe it and I might be able to. Or not.

    Well it’s a tool, and a science in itself too, I guess, if you go into advanced fronter mathematics
