Good call. Science does attempt to make 100% accurate predictions. However, it also realizes that it cannot. That is why in research, scientists test the null hypothesis. Because the only thing we can do with 100% accuracy is prove ourselves wrong.
Once a good theory is set in place, mathematical formulas representing the framework of the theory can be used. But these formulas are a product of science, not science itself. f=ma is not science in of itself, it is a mathematical/physical formula. It is, however, a product of science.
No field of science has come up with a theory that explains 100% of the world, yet that goal is always striven for. Again, I stress that what makes something a science is not result, but methodology. You may want to argue that psychology is not a very good science (though that would hurt my feelings -wink wink- ) but I still don't see why it wouldn't be a science.
