Description

This tis the scientific study of quantities and magnitudes, and their relationships and attributes, through the use of numbers and symbols. You must specialize:

Specializations

Applied

Defaults: Engineer (any)-5, Physics-5 The branch of mathematics that interacts directly with the physical sciences and engineering, dealing with mathematical models of the behavior of physical systems.

Computation Science

Defaults: Computer Programming-5 The theoretical study of data structures and computation. Roll vs your skill to answer questions about what is possible with compters. This does not give any special ability to use computers.

Cryptology

Defaults: Cryptography-5 The mathematical study of codes and ciphers. This gives you a theoretical understanding of encryption schemes, including how they change with TL and why some schemes are more effective than others. To create or break codes, use the Cryptography skill.

Academic

Defaults: None Truly generic academia based mathematics. Make a skill roll to answer any math-related question that's not covered by another speciality. Academic mathemtics covers dozens of obscure sub-fields that wouldn't usually affect the game.

Statistics

Defaults: None The science of assembling and analyzing data for the purpose of calculating probablities, constructing models, and making forecasts. Roll vs skill to determine the odds of a particular outcome, given sufficient data about similar situations in the past.

Surveying

Defaults: Cartography-3, Navigation (any)-4 The science of determining the area of a portion of planetary surfaces, the lengths and directions of the bounding lines, and the contour of the surface. Make a skill roll to determine the dimensions of any area you can see. More complex determinations require specialized equipment.

These specialties default to one another at -5
