They are only different in a minor way. Without language we coud not do math. Math has grammar and spelling principles just like English. So, too, religion (provided it has a foundation) and science compliment each other.
The classroom is always worthy of inquiry, IMO, regardless of what is yet proved or not. Teachers, of all, people, should have open minds.
Oh, not true! Asian students who speak very little English often still excel in math-based courses! I've seen it.
