If we talk about the scientific exploration then that is another dimension and requires another kind of expressions.
The input of data required for scientific exploration is taken from the practicals, findings, from physical to chemical tests and more!
Science is big word, the applied mathematics is already used to compute the physics problems.
We are also onto a Quantum Computer to solve the mysteries of Universe.
So I am not sure about what you are arguing here or upset about.
