I thought that Science fit under Technical, if the offer was for
one additional main menu. However it's clearly big enough to have its
own main menu (there are lots of Science sub-categories in the
standard).
Math is an interesting case in that it's obviously a science, yet the
tools are also used in engineering and also education. Hence your point
about different user views. (On the other hand, putting everything under
Technical helps too :)).
