3- MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is the true incredible logic of human mind with a great predictive power and beauty. Mathematics is the greatest teacher of Science.
Four major Division of Mathematics are Number Theory, Algebra, Geometry, Analysis.

4- SCIENCE
The term Science is basically used for Natural Science in modern times with the idea that the sole judge of Natural Science is the experiment. Scientific method is used in science.
The word Science is derived from Latin word scientia which means ‘ to know ’.
so we can question-
What to know- Knowledge or Nature
How to know- systematic & well-organized
Why to know- understanding our Nature & other things.
