Formalna nauka

Formalne nauke su discipline koje se bave formalnim sistemima, kao što su logika, matematika, teoretska informatika, teorija informacije, teorija igara, teorija sistema, teorija odlučivanja, i delovi lingvistike.

Razlike u odnosu na druge oblike nauka

Jedan od razloga zašto matematika uživa posebno poštovanje, veće od svih drugih nauka, je taj što su njeni zakoni u potpunosti sigurni i neosporni, dok su druge nauke u izvesnom stepenu sporne i u stalnoj opasnosti da budu odbačene od novootkrivenih činjenica.
— Albert Ajnštajn^[1]
