math vs history

Math is more logic and reasoning, and history is more of a memory thing.... But still, anything can apply.
We use reason in math to come up with answers that based on the rules, are completely "logical". We can use reason to come up with conclusions in history that are logical too, like "war causes death" and therefore we should support war. At the same time we use memory for math, we learn that 2+2=4... and we learn this because we've memorized it after years and years of hearing the same thing, and noticing the same pattern. In history we memorize dates, in order to somehow show that we know what we are talking about. So they mix with completely different aspects of knowledge, why should we compare them? They are both useful, you can live without acknowledging them but they will still be there... we hate math, and we hate history, but we love having them around!
