They used to call nuclear physics, “the Jewish science,” (and certainly Hitler shot himself in the foot by driving so many experts out of his reach.) I don’t think this is true anymore. The “brains”with numerical gifts now seem to devote themselves to finance.
It all depends which hemisphere of the brain dominates. Physics, I guess, are old hat by now, while economics and finance are still mysterious (and tend to engender conservative thinking). Medicine seems to be an all-time favorite, employing a balanced use of both hemispheres.
