There isn't much science if you take away the math from the science, so I'd say math. Math, even the system of counting humans have was the start of critical thinking that led to important discoveries in science.
I read about a civilization alive (barely) today, their counting system is extremely simple: 1, 2, 3, "more than 3".
So any number beyond 3, like 4 is referred to as "more than 3", the same thing with 10, and so on.
This civilization has not made many advancements, they hunt with stone and wood weapons, no indoor plumbing, and their explanation for everything is a primitive one: "the gods did it"
Math is important, and science can't stand alone without math. Math has led to many important discoveries like gravity, the rotation of the planet Earth around the sun, and so much more. Because of math we know why the tides rise and fall, why the seasons change, and how to build better tools, and on and on it goes.

There is no science without math.
And math is useful in many different ways in helping to make things more scientific. But if there were no science, then math would be interesting, but kind of pointless!
It is really impossible to separate these two areas of knowledge and skill.

mathematics surely is the science of numbers and obviously therefore both are as important as each other. the original science was really philosophy, as early races (such as the ancient Greeks) were only just starting to speculate on why things happen in the universe but from their speculation and contemplations we as modern civilizations benefited from having the ground work set out to create both mathematical theorem and scientific models

Well science really can't occur without math. They are both very important.

The two are pretty heavily intertwined, I'd say they're both equally as important.

I don't believe that they are mutually exclusive.
