All natural sciences use the same method to establish the 'truth' of some hypotheses. For example, if someone alleges that water of certain purity boils at 100 degrees at sea level then someone else should get the same result for a similar experiment.can you do the same for history or theology?

Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement: number theory, geometry, topology and calculus. In this context, mathematics is science!!!!

But what is science?
 
How can you differentiate between natural sciences, biological sciences, and social sciences?

ndugu yametoka wapi haya?hz akili waachie watoto,kuna level ukfkia kielim utajua mathematics ni nini,huwezi kusema ni science au artist,ila ni namna fulani ya uoanisha logic kuptia symbolz
 
Iwe art or science,huwez ku_prove anythng bila msaada wa mathematics.
 
pamoja na kwamba nimeishia darasa la saba nijaribu na mimi



Mathematics is science and art, b'cause mathematics is useful to solving problems that occur in the real world by using logic., mathematics is needed in may jobs like, business,science engireering and construction,,!

history is one a part of art.
so, kama unafanya business or construction anatakiwa kurekodi docoment zako ili kesho yake ukumbuke vzr, can you prove history is study of record.
and mathematics useful solving problems by using logic, paper and calculater,

PAPER.
any writen matarials is the source of history!!

CALCULATER
calculater ni sanaa kwa sababu ni human creature, kitu chochote kinachotokana na ubunifu wa binadam ni sanaa! ,

LOGIC is the science of reasoning

all in all mathematics is science and art
 

Ha ha ha ha! Sijui kama utajibiwa hapo mdau.
 
Mathematics is the language of the universe

Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge: a systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation; more specifically a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws. A practitioner of science is known as a scientist.


 
I can say mathematics is a branch of science due the fact that maths when u look physics, chemistry and biology has elements of maths
 

That is it. Scientists use systematic approaches to gain knowledge about an area of inquiry. Knowledge so gained is normally generalised and constantly reviewed by other scientists to establish its veracity.

However, in order to make an inquiry in any particular area the inquirer must have a certain belief about the reality of the area of inquiry. Here we mean that the researcher must have somehow declared in his mind and hopefully openly whether the reality he or she is going to investigate is independent of his or her mind (that it the reality is out there) or a product of his own mind. This is called ontology which is a branch of metaphysics. I can give an example, if a scientist wants to investigate the attributes of a stone called "granite" it is clear that the granite will present itself in the same way to every inquirer under certain conditions. This may not be true about a scientist who wants to investigate a social phenomena such as marriage rituals in Africa. There will be differences even in the same tribe. Most of the work will involve interpreting what is going on and no two people can have the same interpretation. Besides, the observed may change their actions the moment the feel that they are being observed or "spied".

That is why It is always important to establish the ontological assumptions of the researcher. Following the ontological assumptions are the epistemological assumptions - that is establishing what can be known about the phenomena and then the methodology of going about knowing it.

It is based on these that I may say that is why we have the three broad areas of sciences: Natural sciences, biological sciences and social sciences. They differ on their ontological and epsistemological assumptions and hence the methodologies of carrying out research. The aims of carrying out research also differ from generalising (establishing general laws) to simply understanding/interpreting the phenomena.
