2. Physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics

   The distinction between mathematics and physics is clear-cut, but not always obvious, especially in mathematical physics. Ontology is a prerequisite for physics, but not for mathematics. It means physics is ultimately concerned with descriptions of the real world, while mathematics is concerned with abstract patterns, even beyond the real world.

3. Relationship between mathematics and physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between...

   Despite the close relationship between math and physics, they are not synonyms. In mathematics objects can be defined exactly and logically related, but the object need have no relationship to experimental measurements. In physics, definitions are abstractions or idealizations, approximations adequate when compared to the natural world.

4. Outline of physical science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_physical_science

   Physics – branch of science that studies matter [4] and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. [5] Physics is one of the "fundamental sciences" because the other natural sciences (like biology, geology, etc.) deal with systems that seem to obey the laws of physics. According to physics, the ...

5. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_physics

   Certain parts of mathematics that initially arose from the development of physics are not, in fact, considered parts of mathematical physics, while other closely related fields are. For example, ordinary differential equations and symplectic geometry are generally viewed as purely mathematical disciplines, whereas dynamical systems and ...

6. Branches of science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_science

   In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries physicalism emerged as a major unifying feature of the philosophy of science as physics provides fundamental explanations for every observed natural phenomenon. New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening to new research areas in mathematics and philosophy.

7. Mathematical sciences - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_sciences

   Theoretical astronomy, theoretical physics, theoretical and applied mechanics, continuum mechanics, mathematical chemistry, actuarial science, computer science, computational science, data science, operations research, quantitative biology, control theory, econometrics, geophysics and mathematical geosciences are likewise other fields often ...

8. Theoretical physics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics

   Theoretical physics is a branch of physics that employs mathematical models and abstractions of physical objects and systems to rationalize, explain, and predict natural phenomena. This is in contrast to experimental physics , which uses experimental tools to probe these phenomena.

9. Science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science

   Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. [1] [2] Modern science is typically divided into two or three major branches: [3] the natural sciences (e.g., physics, chemistry, and biology), which study the physical world; and the social sciences (e.g., economics, psychology, and sociology), which ...
