Math and science require a heightened state of concentration. It needs rational, sequential, and analytical ways to solve issues. The prefrontal cortex of your brain, which sits just below your brow, is thought to be involved in concentration when you're in focused mode.

Because of their abstraction and encryption, it's possible to think about math and science, but it takes more time and effort to do so.
