Time for a poll

[chickenfeet]

I needed an excuse to use the user pic voted most popular by a random sample of sentient beings. I've also had some interesting on and off line convos and comments about math(s) recently so I thought what we really need is more ticky boxes. Lo, I bring you the great math(s) poll!

I went to university and eventually got a BA in Maths (yeah, Oxford's weird)

But a mathematician friend at Oxford assured me that, at degree level, mathematics is an art, not a science.

At Oxford, even engineering is an art.

It's true that Maths is somewhere inbetween Arts and Science and is neither fish nor fowl, although you can choose options that tailor it closer to one or the other.

But *everything* at Oxford gets you a BA to start with. And in fact my degree is technically in "Mathematical sciences".
