Mathematicians are not scientists.
This is a good example of that fact.

Isn't math a science anyway? Its not an art. What I've seen a lot is
that subjects are divided into "arts" and "sciences" categories.

Thank you so much for cross posting this important information in
alt.free.newsservers. Otherwise I would not have seen it and would not
have learned of this important information. Please keep up the good work.
I know it's not on-topic at alt.free.newsservers, but I assure you that all
subscribers to alt.free.newsservers are in your debt for making us aware of
these facts.
Please cross post to the rest of usenet where it will be just as welcome. I
know that the people at rec.ponds may have missed it.

What is this I hear about math not being an art? Such vulgarities
should not be uttered. I'm with crystaldragonclear. Long live
rec.arts.math!

This just manifests limits of human classification system. Everybody
with rudimentary math background knows that math is bigger than
science, art or any other subject. Therefore, I propose
math.science
math.art
math.culinary
math.cranky
....

Math is art. It's not based on observation and empirical data.
