I'm an interesting and attractive person, so I didn't need to go to university to make friends. I learned useful skills instead. Even if I did just want to be popular, ask women who's hotter, a surgeon or a history teacher. I'll give you a hint, they don't make TV dramas about sexy young history teachers.

IT students really do smell though, that's accurate.

math is not a science whatsoever. It does not rely on the scientific method. It has it's own method, the mathematical method. It also deals with conjectures and theorems, i.e. absolute certainty through proofs. Science deals with hypothesis and theory, i.e. theory best supported by the evidence.

It does not matter how much evidence you get that supports that pi is a trancendental number. You have to create an actual theorem through proof.

Obviously none of you are mathematicians. Because they use language precisely, and you fucks have not decided on a definition of a science, which changes which fields are included.

Mathematics do not deal with the real world. They deal with the mathematical world. Sciencefags will say otherwise, but the fact remains that no breakthrough in physics has led to a breakthrough in mathematics. Though it often works the other way around.

Mathematics do not produce experiments and their theorems do not rely on evidence. It's the same reason that "intelligent design" is not science and why many sciencefags argue that string theory is not science.

Fact of the matter is that physics, chemistry, etc.. are largely irrelevant to mathematics.

Also, mathematicians have bitchin' hair.

i love how most of you all are avoiding the question, but what i question is

why does someone going into one of those fields mean they are unattractive? I'm going into physics and i have a good social/sex life.

your trying to stereotype people that come from around the world.

to top it off I'm going into the field because i want to know how the universe works and be able to enhance are knowledge of it.
