Anytime you see a study about sociology, psychology, biology,
  chemistry or physics, it _always_ ends up here. [of course it's
  really quite ridiculous - they are different fields for a good
  reason: they CAN'T be folded together without losing something
  significant in each of them. If they could be, they would be one
  would think... but instead what we find is more and MORE
  sciences coming out... not fewer and fewer] And of course math
  likes to hold the shiny apple... but then after that, you get
  the Linguists... and up the humanities ladder it goes until it
  ends up back in sociology.   [1]== It does... well.. it tries.
  But mathematics doesn't work as well in some fields as it does
  in others. Mathematification of psychology works ok in CogPsych
  but less so in Psychology. Mathematics doesn't work very well in
  biology, which involves a lot more storytelling. Actually,
  outside of physics, mathematics correlates less and less well as
  you go to the left as it increases the amount of interpretation
  required.

  Sociology is an exception though. Sociology probably where it
  _could_ go "around the bend" and touches mathematics well... but
  then the things that it's connecting together via mathematics is
  up to a lot of category issues.[2]purity
