Applied Physics

The application of various branches of physics in other [[../CosmologicalConstant/|fields]] of science, technology, and industry is described as applied physics ; alternatively, it is a term describing areas of physics which are intended for particular/specific, practical or technological uses.

One notes also that many areas of research and development ($R\mathrm{\&}D$) include both applied physics and applied mathematics, thus also including their overlap area known as [[../LQG2/|Computational Physics]] as an increasingly important component that cross-fertilizes these two related fiels of applied physics and mathematics. Historically, [[../Program3/|computers]] were made possible by a combination of technical developments in physics and electronics, paralleled by mathematical developments in computer architecture design and [[../ComputerProgram/|programming]] based on improved mathematical/logical [[../RecursiveFunction/|algorithms]]. A fact that is often forgotten is that John von Neumann who contributed greatly to the [[../MathematicalFoundationsOfQuantumTheories/|mathematical foundations of quantum theory]] in physics was also closely involved with the design and building of the first computers. Thus, applied physics and applied mathematics are very broad, allied fields that have already made, and continue to make a huge impact on practical applications and technology development.
