No. La filosofía y las mates se tratan de examinar las consecuencias de los axiomas. No tienen que tener nada que ver con el mundo. Las ciencias se tratan de construir teorías para explicar el mundo, comprobarlas con experimentos repetibles, y descartar las que fallan.

I think you might be equating a science to natural science. I could talk about the status of maths as a science/art for ever, but we're on the wrong forum.
