	Exact Science?
		Hence, astronomy and physics may be considered as reasonably exact sciences, though even here when we approach infinite magnitude, as of distance in astronomy, or infinite smallness, as of electrons in physics, and our measuring devices are not sufficiently acute, we discover a wide margin of inexactitude.
		Genealogy, as one of the sciences in which human nature is a factor, is considered to be one of the less exact sciences.
		Hence, biologically considered, it must be granted that genealogy is not as exact a science as could be desired, since an entirely unknown margin of error always exists, at least as a theoretical possibility.

	Exact science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term exact science refers to certain areas of (scientific) knowledge, notably mathematics, physics, and others.
		Technically speaking, however, it applies to all the natural sciences, which can then be considered "exact", according to this criterion of testability.
		For this reason, it can be said that exact science, at least in the strict sense, did not arise until the invention of the publicly available scientific journal, say around 1640.

	Keep a Close Eye on Exact Sciences
		Exact Sciences (EXAS:Nasdaq - news - commentary - research - analysis), a small biotechnology stock that I highlighted back in February, may prove that point.
		Exact is working closely with primary care physicians, health care reimbursers (HMOs, for example) and diagnostic laboratories across the country to gain acceptance for its test.
		According to Exact, its tests could provide labs with 40% to 60% gross margins for their services, such as collecting samples and billing, which are more profitable than the more typical 40% gross margin in the diagnostic world.

	MrSci.com: All Science, All the Time
		For this reason, it can be said that exact science, at least in the strict sense, did not arise until the invention of the publicly available scientific journal, say around 1640, or at least with the availability of printed books, say around 1540, in Europe.
		Exact sciences are distinguished from the social sciences on the one hand, and from the humanities, theology, the arts on the other.
		In this sense "natural sciences" can be an alternative phrase for biological sciences, involved in biological processes, or perhaps also the earth sciences, as might distinguished from the physical sciences (more directly involved in the study of physical and chemical laws underlying the universe).

	Latent Print Examination: The science of fingerprints- an exact science?
		It applies the knowledge and understanding gained in the pure descriptive sciences of anatomy, histology, embryology, etc. and the pure exact sciences of physics, chemistry, etc. to the solving of problems (crimes) and presents its conclusions to a court of law.
		Exact science is defined as "a science, as chemistry or physics, that deals with quantitatively measurable phenomena of the material universe." (Random House College Dictionary).
		In botany, plants have "exact" descriptions or classifications (a rose is a rose after all) but it is not an "exact science" nor is the science applied to friction ridge identification.

	The Thought of a Thought - Edgar Allan Poe
		The fascination and ambivalence these men felt toward Newton, the personification of Science, is well illustrated by Blake's famous painting "The Ancient of Days", showing a kneeling God-like/Satanic figure spanning the darkness with a compass of light.
		Prior to the scientific revolution, it was possible for scholastic philosophers and thinkers of all kinds to engage with the great questions of natural science in the verbal and teleological tradition, but Galileo and Newton effectively put an end to this.
		Whitman too was part of the on-going reaction against Newtonian science (see his "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer"), as was his almost exact contemporary, Herman Melville (1819-1891), whose imagery for poems like "The Portent", not to mention the prose poem "Moby Dick", owes much to Poe's influence.
