Study Notes
Main Branches of Science
- Science encompasses a variety of branches categorized by subject matter and research methodologies.
Physical Sciences
- Physics: Focuses on matter, energy, and fundamental forces governing the universe.
- Chemistry: Analyzes the composition, structure, properties, and transformations of matter.
- Astronomy: Examines celestial bodies and the overall universe.
- Earth Sciences: Investigates the Earth and its components, including geology, meteorology, and oceanography.
Life Sciences (Biological Sciences)
- Biology: Studies living organisms and their interactions within ecosystems.
- Botany: Concentrates on plant life and their biological processes.
- Zoology: Focuses on the study of animal species and their behaviors.
- Microbiology: Investigates microscopic organisms and their impact on environments.
- Genetics: Explores genes, heredity, and the variation in living organisms.
- Ecology: Analyzes relationships between organisms and their habitats.
Social Sciences
- Psychology: Studies human behavior and cognitive processes.
- Sociology: Investigates social structures, relationships, and cultural norms.
- Anthropology: Examines human development and cultural evolution over time.
- Economics: Analyses the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.
- Political Science: Studies systems of governance, political activities, and political behavior.
Formal Sciences
- Mathematics: Explores numbers, quantities, structures, and their relationships.
- Statistics: Involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of numerical data.
- Computer Science: Studies algorithms, computational systems, and data processing.
- Logic: Investigates principles of reasoning and argument construction.
Applied Sciences
