I don't know that one can really say that because all "sciences"
necessarily use mathematical tools.

Objectivity is impossible. All observations and tests necessarily
assume a pre-established framework. If nothing else, you assume that
you're dealing with something called "reality", whatever that means.
The difference between mathematics and everything else is that
mathematicians attempt to define their framework rigorously.

If you find that elusive objective basis for everything, be sure to
mention it in that Middle East Democracy thread. They could sure use it
in there.
