The reason is so simple, it is often ignored: IT FEELS GOOD! Well, until it doesnât â more on that later. Regardless of the Type of addiction (Substance, Process, Systemic or Codependency), certain chemicals get stimulated and released in the brain. These chemicals are what make us feel good and feed the addiction.
Haskell Curry defined mathematics simply as the science of formal systems. A formal system is a set of symbols, or tokens, and some rules telling how the tokens may be combined into formulas. In formal systems, the word axiom has a special meaning, different from the ordinary meaning of a self-evident truth.
Pretty much everyone agrees at least to the servant clause: it is undeniable that mathematics plays a major support role in science. And no longer just in physics, or chemistry, but increasingly in other sciences as well. Statistics was the cornerstone of the change in medicine from art to science. And most social sciences seem to feel that the more math they can put in, the more robust and scientific they will be. It is the claim that mathematics is a science (let alone the Queen of Science) that seems to lack support.
