Newton literally defined gravity as a mathematical equation.
Many would claim that all science is defined as mathematical concepts.
Science can disprove the existence of gods by coming up with a mathematical equation that predicts the future. That was the premise behind Asimov's Foundation Theory.

Truth ideally is the same as fact where a fact is proved by science but society doesn't always use truth that way.
Its arbitrary to use the term truth or true. It can mean multiple things.
a. The standard definition - something that is factual - i.e. scientifically proven
b. The judicial definition - something agreed to by judges or a jury
c. The religious definition - something only God defines.
d. The common definition - something someone believes by saying that's the truth.
That's the bottom line that Tim Rice stated so eloquently - "But what is truth, is truth unchanging law. We both have truths, are mine the same as yours".
Even in this discussion we are debating what is truth.
One more additional comment on your "historical" reference to truth by stating it's true that George Washington was the first president. Have you read 1984? Is Critical Race Theory true?
I get it, in an ideal world things like George Washington being the first president would never be challenged. But we don't live in that ideal world. We live in a world where truth is subjective to the beholder. Its wise to start with that "truth". ;)
