 Now we got {{{math}}} tag, however I do not think it makes a good sense to
 use it for everything remotely related. I would even add more specific
 tags like {{{bayesian}}} and {{{economics}}}, for example. Say, while both
 general equilibrium or demand models are still {{{math}}} (and
 {{{science}}}, FWIW), someone looking for actual math (ex., numerical
 computations or abstract algebra) may not want to see those, while someone
 looking for econometrics stuff would prefer not to dig through ports like
 {{{R-cgal-Meshes}}} or standalone functions for fancy distributions. Using
 {{{finance}}} is also problematic, there are tons of economics stuff which
 has nothing to do with finance. Etc.
 Obviously, tags only make sense when there are some number of ports worth
 having those.

 What everyone thinks? While right now I ask in connection with 3000+ R
 packages we got now, it is not restricted to R.
