define pure and then you'll see

physics is the most pure. mathematics is not a science, it's in a category of its own. its just mathematics.

Much of mathematics is a hacked together mess.

That's not how you spell "Chem 101+102."
Holy shit, what a clusterfuck. The amount of times they tell students "This is true....but not reeeeeaally" or "the proof for this is beyond the scope of this course" is fucking hysterical.

I just function on the working assumption that the universe on our scale is a grand intertwined deterministic machine. This makes the existence of "edge cases" or a violation of a general "rule" trivial and easy to sort out and store. At its core is a rejection of general rules.

But yes, it definitely doesn't make learning straightforward. Much of that is why you don't really see anyone who's just a general "chemist".

Math is worse though. I feel like at every instant I'm wading through someone's arbitrary shit, no matter how much "rigor" they claim is behind it.

it's all the same shit who cares as long as ur not a biologist desu
