Exploring Scientific Disciplines

The three major branches of modern science are natural sciences, social sciences, and formal sciences.

Examples of disciplines within the three major branches of modern science are physics, chemistry, and biology for natural sciences; economics, psychology, and sociology for social sciences; and logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science for formal sciences.

The main difference is that the formal sciences do not rely on empirical evidence, unlike the natural and social sciences.
