It appears that Chemistry reached (2) first... and to be honest I'm not quite sure what Mathematics could be. Perhaps... some kind of SUPER PHYSICS?
WAVE-LENGTHS concern the study of the electromagnetic spectrum, and waves and wave-lengths in general. Whether it be involving Transverse/Electromagnetic Waves or Longitudinal waves, you've got it all. WAVE-LENGTHS mostly requires parts, but you some chemicals may alter waves in certain specific ways, creating new, different types of WAVE-LENGTH weapons. Many of the parts involved will be things like mirrors, prisms, radio dishes, and all other things used to deflect, reflect, refract, and diffract different waves. The labs required by WAVE-LENGTHS start off quite simple at first. A method to bend light, produce sound, influence various types of waves, and a way to direct that energy, and you're good. However, the most complex lab required, while not as complex as ROBOTICS, is still quite up there. The methods to produce different types of waves, as well as the required equipment to harness them are all very important and sometimes hard to find.
The advantages and possible utility of WAVE-LENGTHS is quite respectable. At the lower levels, you can use concussive blasts of sound to knock people out, carefully alter radio waves and broadcasts, or increase the potential of some explosives by tinkering with the pressure-waves that they produce. At higher levels, WAVE-LENGTHS can let you bend light to hide various sized objects, create a giant EMP to fry all electronics for miles around (yours too, unless you shield them!), or utilize ultra-violet rays to violently mutate a persons genetic structure. The main advantage of WAVE-LENGTHS is the wide range of utility you can use the various waves for. I mean, NUCLEAR SCIENCE lets you destroy cities in an instant, but does it let you create your own specialized microwave to get your coffee just how you like it? The disadvantages of WAVE-LENGTHS include the fairly expensive costs of producing the upper-level weapons and tools, and the extreme adaptability of WAVE-LENGTHS. If the enemy somehow acquires one of your WAVE-LENGTH mechanisms, they can create super-specialized armor that renders your weapons quite weak, or they could even possibly create their own weapons or devices that send your destructive waves right back at you! The moral-impact of WAVE-LENGTHS also starts out fairly large, but quickly goes down (although utilizing different kinds of waves means kind of resetting the moral.)

Ah, yes, CHEMISTRY! THAT kind of genius! THE GENIUS OF CHEMICALS AND ELEMENTS! You burst into a cackling laugh before degenerating into a shaking cough. Too bad you can't afford cough drops... but that will change!
You sew your crude
~*CERTIFIED CHEMIST*~ ribbon onto your labcoat. You have to give it to yourself, stealing from those second-graders was a great idea, particularly because it gave you all that nice cloth with which to make your ribbons. You reach over for your second ribbon and pick it up, but you're having trouble reading what it says... what does it say again?
