One usually distinguishes in science between descriptive and normative theories. The former tells us what an entity does under certain conditions and, possibly, why. Cognitive psychology, sociology and demography are examples of the disciplines that provide descriptive aspects of human behavior. In contrast, normative theories tell us what to do in order to accomplish certain goals. Various optimization techniques and methods of Operations Research yield normative theories of well-defined and mathematically formulable tasks.
