Mathematics and science are two distinct fields but yet exhibit intimate and inseparable relationship. At one side, science offers mathematics problems to logically evaluate existing relationships and patterns while at the other side, math offers science analytical tools to evaluate scientific data. For instance in ohm’s law, science provided math with a common electrical circuit problem to identify pattern or relationship between voltage, resistance and current. Using mathematical tools like mean, standard deviation and regression analysis, data collected from scientific experiment was evaluated to give the relationship, shows quantitative connection between the three variables. In addition, science relies on math for syntax in form of rules to evaluate data and ideas explicitly.

Science and math also connect in other aspects. For instance, they both strive towards establishing universal patterns. For a math’s theorem to be true, it has to reproduce same results irrespective of way of approach or type of dimensional units applied. For instance, even though different people can approach a quadratic problem differently (using either quadratic formula, completing square method, factor or graph method), they end up getting same results. Similarly, scientific theories or laws should hold true regardless of the place of experiment or organisms considered. For example, gravitational law applies to all types of bodies residing or operating on earth’s surface regardless of their nature of matter. Thus, scientific and mathematical theorems and laws are universal in formation and application.
