Mathematics are formulae used to understand and crystallize the world around us. They form a mechanism, but do not define a process. Science is a critical record of observation, associated with derived meaning and collected evidence.

That has no bearing on what we -should- be. Who we -should- be. The how, in how to live. Science does not give us good or ill. Mathematics is no approach to be, truly, yourself. Fluid dynamics will explain the turbulence of my aircraft, biology and chemistry the fight or flight response, but they will not guide me through understanding my fear, and making peace with the knowledge of my own death.
