From Google:

a method of learning about the physical universe by applying the principles of the scientific method, which includes making empirical observations, proposing hypotheses to explain those observations, and testing those hypotheses in valid and reliable ways; also refers to the organized body of knowledge that results from scientific study

www.coris.noaa.gov/glossary/glossary_l_z.html

The study of the natural world through observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanations.

Science is a way of acquiring knowledge. To do science, one must follow a specific universal methodology. The central theme in this methodology is the testing of hypotheses and the ability to make predictions. The overall goal of science is to better understand nature and our Universe.

knowledge in general

etext.lib.virginia.edu/stc/Coleridge/resources/dictionary.html

the process of gaining knowledge based on making repeated observations about nature in controlled conditions (experimentation) and attempting to explain what causes those observations (theorizing) through constructing hypotheses that can be tested experimentally. Science's only purpose is to gain knowledge. Sometimes that knowledge may eventually lead to things mankind finds useful technology.

Literally 'knowledge', science is the synthesis of the systematic study of every aspect of our experience of reality, especially objective reality, usually with the aim of reducing it to a logically-consistent system of order (though modern science accepts many paradoxes, if often with evident discomfort). The public image of science's worldview is generally, though incorrectly, that of scientism; in practice, the development of science depends extensively on the intuitive mode as well as analysis.

跟数学不数学没什么关系.

我觉得科学有别于其他认识未知的活动的地方，在于它的方法论。一个科学的命题或理论，首先应该是能够被证实或证伪的。所以做科学虽然也会出错，但有了这个重要的纠错机制，正确的理论终将代替错误的理论。

至于数学，我想只是一种研究工具，就像显微镜和加速器一样。

科学家的社会责任么，和从事其他工作的人应该是一样的吧？往高了说“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”，往低了说要安心本职工作。

科学，先不看它怎么被定义的吧。首先它是要人来研究的吧？是一种人类的智力劳动。那么目的是什么？数学是什么？

科学的最终目的是为解决人类的问题。而不是为了满足人类的数学表达意义。并不是所有科学非得用数学来表达。比如人工合成的东西，你怎么用数学来表达？而这确确实实是人类的智力劳动的结果？难道不能说是科学？
