the math section should really be science

[Drew Parsons <dparsons@emerall.com>]

I'm packaging viewmol, a program for visualising molecules, used in
computational chemistry.

The question arises, what subsection should it be put into?
A comparable program, rasmol, is already in debian, in the math subsection.
But computational chemistry is not, strictly speaking, mathematics (it
can be considered a sub-branch of mathematics, but you don't usually talk
about the weight or electron affinity of a number).

Looking through the math section, there are other packages which aren't
strictly maths:  some biomaths programs (genesis, busx, hmmr), some plotting
programs (sciplot, grace, geg), some astronomical tools (seesat5, ssystem).

I therefore wonder if it would not be more appropriate to call this
subsection "science" rather than "math" ?
