Since you want to do maths/statistics/econ why not pick up Further Maths instead? PS mathematics is a science

All 3 Maths? (Maths, FM and AFM?)

Are you trying to basically say Maths is greater than the other sciences because that's not a very helpful or nice or logical opinion to have, they all have their own merits.

Yes Maths is different but it also holds stronger relationships with the other 3 sciences (especially physics) which in turn you can classify it as a science.

Btw I am arguing with someone who argues symbolic maths is the future of maths

I'm sick of attitudes like this- why can't people just be themselves?I'm going out in my normal clothes which consist of a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms and I will not comb my hair.i haven't been out since the 3rd August so it will be a bit of fresh air.I don't go out now because I haven't got a bus pass and I have been stressing about results and I can't really be bothered.

Physics is a Maths-Science so it counts for both and that means I'm taking all 3 maths.There are others but they aren't on other at my College like Statistics and Additional Further Maths.

If you're photograph is taken and you look quite unflattering, and then it gets into the newspaper (and potentially the front page) for thousands of people to see - you're going to feel self conscious. It's human nature!
