Classification of science II

Life sciences;

            Life science comprises the branches of science that involve the scientific study of living organisms, like plants, animals, and human beings. However, the study of behavior of organisms, such as practiced in ethology and psychology, is only included in as much as it involves a clearly biological aspect. While biology remains the centerpiece of life science, technological advances in molecular biology and biotechnology have led to a burgeoning of specializations and new, often interdisciplinary, fields.

Biology: It  is the branch of natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines.

Zoology: It is the branch of biology that relates to the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct. The term is derived from Ancient Greek zoon, "animal" and logos, "knowledge".

Human Biology: Human biology is an interdisciplinary academic field of biology, biological anthropology, nutrition and medicine which focuses on humans.

Botany: Botany or plant biology is a branch of biology that involves the scientific study of plant life. It covers a wide range of scientific disciplines including structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, chemical properties, and evolutionary relationships among taxonomic groups. Botany began with early human efforts to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making it one of the oldest sciences. Today botanists study over 550,000 species of living organisms.

Anatomy: the study of the structure and organization of living things.

Bacteriology: the study of bacteria in relation to disease.

Biotechnology: A new branch of science emerged as a baby of Biology and Technology, which deals with exploring microorganisms for production of drugs, artificial hormones, etc. Entomology: the study of insects.

Genetics: the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms.

Medicine:  The science of diagnosing, treating, and preventing illness, disease, and injury. Marine Biology: the study of animal and plant life within saltwater ecosystems.

Microbiology: the study of microorganisms, including viruses, prokaryotes and simple eukaryotes.

Molecular Biology: the study of biology at a molecular level.

Neurology: the branch of medicine dealing with the nervous system and its disorders. Physiology: the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms. Radiology: the branch of medicine dealing with the applications of radiant energy, including x-rays and radioisotopes.

Taxonomy: the science of classification of animals and plants.

Social sciences;

The "Social science" is the fields of scholarship that study society. It is commonly used as an umbrella term to refer to a plurality of fields outside of the natural sciences. These include: anthropology, archaeology, business administration, communication, criminology, economics, education, government, linguistics, international relations, political science, psychology (especially social psychology), sociology and, in some contexts, geography, history and law.

Formal sciences:

          The formal sciences are the branches of knowledge that are concerned with formal systems, such as logic, mathematics, theoretical computer science, information theory, systems theory, decision theory, statistics, and some aspects of linguistics.

            Unlike other sciences, the formal sciences are not concerned with the validity of theories based on observations in the real world (empirical knowledge), but rather with the properties of formal systems based on definitions and rules. Methods of the formal sciences are, however, essential to the construction and testing of scientific models dealing with observable reality and major advances in formal sciences have often enabled major advances in the empirical sciences.
