(gets on soapbox) As ALL math and science should be! We artificially separated them. Math was discovered, not invented, to explain what was being observed in real life. Everything is connected. But if you look at a regular science book now, you'll see tidbits of trivia with pictures, disjointed, modular, presented in ways that actually DISSUADE the thought process that make connections. Without teaching kids how to distinguish evidence from hearsay, reasoning from supposition, vamos prayers from guesses, the system only priests then to be led by the noses and unqualified to apply logic anywhere. The scientific method has been buried, along with logic and rhetoric, and unless we make new schools and homeschool until then, we sentence another generation to stupidity. (Steps down)
