Index of branches of science
{{Short description|Alphabetical list of scientific disciplines}}
{{more citations needed|date=November 2024}}
The following index is provided as an overview of and topical guide to science: Links to articles and redirects to sections of articles which provide information on each topic are listed with a short description of the topic. When there is more than one article with information on a topic, the most relevant is usually listed, and it may be cross-linked to further information from the linked page or section.
Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.{{Cite book |last=Wilson |first=E.O. |url=https://archive.org/details/consilienceunity00wils_135 |title=Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge |publisher=Vintage |year=1999 |isbn=978-0-679-76867-8 |edition=Reprint |location=New York |pages=[https://archive.org/details/consilienceunity00wils_135/page/n55 49]–71 |chapter=The natural sciences |url-access=limited}}{{cite book |last=Heilbron |first=J.L. |author-link=J.

It was a discovery that nature generally acts regularly enough to be described by laws and even by mathematics; and required invention to devise the techniques, abstractions, apparatus, and organization for exhibiting the regularities and securing their law-like descriptions. |display-authors=etal}}
The branches of science, also referred to as scientific fields, scientific disciplines, or just sciences, can be arbitrarily divided into three major groups:
- The natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and Earth sciences), which study nature in the broadest sense;
- The social sciences (e.g. psychology, sociology, economics, history) which study people and societies; and
- The formal sciences (e.g. mathematics, logic, theoretical computer science), which study abstract concepts.
Disciplines that use science, such as engineering and medicine, are described as applied sciences.
