Learn English – Opposite of the word “specific”

phrase-requestssingle-word-requests

Literally speaking "unspecific" is the opposite of "specific", though I don't think it fits my intended use well.

Math is an abstract concept. There is nothing physical about math. Though it is very abstract, it is still very specific in the sense that everything is very well defined. What word could be used to describe something that is the opposite of the specificity math has? I'm looking for words similar to "open ended" or "loosey-goosey".

Another example would be how politicians tend to talk in vague terms without specifics.
