"The term exact science refers to fields of science that are capable of accurate quantitative expression or precise predictions and rigorous methods of testing hypotheses, especially reproducible experiments involving quantifiable predictions and measurements. The term implies a dichotomy between these fields. The terms hard science, pure science, and fundamental science are very similar." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exact_science )

eksakte fag
Eksakte/harde vitenskaper gir som regel bare én løsning, mens mye vitenskaper gir diskuterbare løsninger.
Historisk ble disse fagene oppfattet som eksakte vitenskaper. (no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matematikk).
Det siste er det ikke noe unormalt i - jus er som kjent en av de minst eksakte vitenskaper, men totalbildet dette gir er ikke spesielt vakkert. (www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kommentarer/article1336635.ece )

: This would also work, though perhaps somewhat unnecessarily.. well, exact in this context.
