URGENT! Classifying a teacher's 'subject'

One of the teachers writing my recommendation letter taught me both AP American History and AP Micro and Macroeconomics - the problem is, University of Chicago requires a recommendation from a math/science teacher, and I’m not on particularly strong terms with any I’ve had in junior or senior year. Can I classify economics as ‘math/science’ on the Common Application where they ask for the teacher’s subject, fudging a little, and get away with it? Or should I mark him as ‘Other’ and wait for him to explain it in his letter?
