Applied Mathematics

Applied mathematics is the application of mathematical methods in various fields such as science, engineering, business, computer science, and industry. Applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical sciences and specialized knowledge. The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional discipline in which mathematicians solve practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models. In the past, practical applications motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied. The activity of applied mathematics is closely related to research in pure mathematics.
