Mathematics is not science?

Who told you that?

I would agree with the statement that mathematics is not science because it doesn't follow the scientific method. You don't observe data, make a hypothesis, test it, and form a theory. In mathematics you just work from theorem to theorem based on axioms. While you can do something similar in the sciences, you are always constrained to the fact that if your theory doesn't match your data, the theory is wrong. In mathematics, the theorem *makes* the data.

But it's the mathematical model that predicts the experimental results that gives the answer. It has to be. "Look at this picture" doesn't suffice in mathematics.

It's much like using a computer to get solution to some finite values. That gives you great instinct as to what the solution is, but you still need the proof.

Mathematicians and scientists.
