    Math or history didn’t bother you? The last time you had a class called “Science” was probably the same as the last time you had a class called “Math” and a class called “History”: elementary or junior high.

    They’re being used as general subject terms…

      That’s a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I’m from Germany)

      The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you’re in.

      I always had just one math class (the last one was “Math for physicists 3”, in the third semester at university) and what would “history” be split into as a school subject?
