Mathematics is the branch of science that studies formal systems governed by axioms and rules.

Applied science is the discipline that uses scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as in engineering and medicine.

The primary characteristic of modern science is its emphasis on empirical evidence and experimentation to develop and test hypotheses.

The ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece have the earliest identifiable predecessors to modern science.

There is disagreement about whether formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, are science disciplines because they do not rely on empirical evidence and experimentation.
