Dermatology and gastroenterology are disciplines inside medicine. In the same way medicine and chemistry are inside physics.I do not agree with this at all. I can do perfectly respectable chemistry with no consideration of quantum mechanics!
This whole argument is similar to saying that a dermatologist is part of gastroenterology and vice versa, when nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, they are both medical disciplines but they are quite different. One acknowledges the other and they know bits of each medical arena, but they are not the same nor is one part of the other. They are, at best, parts of the study of the body.
In a similar fashion, physics, chemistry and mathematics are specialty fields of basic science. It would be better said that physics is a subset of math.
I wonder how many of you have studied any science in depth?

Like an albumen print or an egg tempera painting perhaps? Although film photography is rich with physics, chemistry, art and philosophy, to most people it's a highly applied branch of each. Take away people's film, photographic paper and cameras, and only the diehards would persevere and make their own lenses and materials. Most of us would buy a digital camera instead. Tichy owned some quality cameras but chose to make his own instead. I don't think he made his own film or paper.i mean cooking is complete science/physics/chemistry and there are chefs that create stuff that is mind blowing ...
By your reasoning playing a musical instrument is strictly governed by the rules of physics. Is music therefore a branch of physics. You are stretching an analogy too far.
and physics is just applied mathematics....
+1DITTO!
Chemistry is not Physics. Physics is not Chemistry. Explain your comment.
This seems fitting.

Computer sciences for me, with a strong background in physics and engineering.

I don't think he's stretching the idea a bit.By your reasoning playing a musical instrument is strictly governed by the rules of physics. Is music therefore a branch of physics. You are stretching an analogy too far.
Which is applied philosophy... (just joking)
Luckess, to test if you are a CS graduate, please complete the following phrase:
The most powerful programming language ever invented is __________________________.
If you answer "FORTRAN" you are a physicist.
If you answer "COBOL" you are an accountant.
If you answer "Java", you need a new job and therapy for PSTD.
On the other hand, if you are a "Real Computer Scientist", you would answer... ?
This seems fitting.

I love xkcd and the joke is a clever one. But try to apply it like this: how is psychology related to mathematics at all?
You mean the statement "It's nice to be on top", which seems to be the reason for all these posts.Don't forget to see the XKCD subtext.
The title was "Physics and Chemistry" not "Physics or Chemistry, Which Is Best?", which seems to be what this has devolved to.And the title
No the title of the cartoon is "purity"The title was "Physics and Chemistry" not "Physics or Chemistry, Which Is Best?", which seems to be what this has devolved to.
I care and agree; not to forget optics and mechanics.There is little cooler than film photography.Film cameras combine physics and chemistry. Digital cameras are pure physics. I think that is why I like film cameras, as it crosses the bridge between two areas of science? What do others think?
Well, Mathematics is the basis of physics, which is the basis of chemistry, which directly controls all aspects of biology, which in turn influence and direct human psychology.
See? Its easy. Very basic and straightforward logic here, nothing weird or groundbreaking really going on.

- Maths.
Programming languages are just syntactic sugar over the math, and really should be chosen based on how well they conform to the problem at hand to be solved.
Computer Sciences are really just distilled general mathematics after all. We take all the bits that are actually useful and run off into our own corner to ask for research funding... A wonderful system really.
Giggle, yes in that specific case.Are we discussing over an XKCD cartoon?
