Systems science and engineeringSystems science, also referred to as systems research, or, simply, systems, is a transdisciplinary field concerned with understanding systems—from simple to complex—in nature, society, cognition, engineering, technology and science itself. The field is diverse, spanning the formal, natural, social, and applied sciences. To systems scientists, the world can be understood as a system of systems.
BusinessBusiness is the practice of making one's living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services). It is also "any activity or enterprise entered into for profit." Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business. If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner's personal possessions.
Industrial and production engineeringIndustrial and production engineering (IPE) is an interdisciplinary engineering discipline that includes manufacturing technology, engineering sciences, management science, and optimization of complex processes, systems, or organizations. It is concerned with the understanding and application of engineering procedures in manufacturing processes and production methods. Industrial engineering dates back all the way to the industrial revolution, initiated in 1700s by Sir Adam Smith, Henry Ford, Eli Whitney, Frank Gilbreth and Lilian Gilbreth, Henry Gantt, F.
Applied sciencesThe following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to applied science: Applied science – the branch of science that applies existing scientific knowledge to develop more practical applications, including inventions and other technological advancements. Science itself is the systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Applied cryptography – applications of cryptography.
Science formelleLes sciences formelles (ou sciences logico-formelles) explorent déductivement, selon des règles de formation et de démonstration, des systèmes axiomatiques. Les sciences formelles regroupent les mathématiques, la logique et l'informatique théorique. L'algèbre est la branche des mathématiques qui étudie les structures algébriques, indépendamment de la notion de limite (rattachée à l'analyse) et de la notion de représentation graphique (rattachée à la géométrie).
Discipline (spécialité)Une discipline désigne une branche du savoir développée par une communauté de spécialistes adhérant aux mêmes pratiques de recherche. On parle ainsi de discipline scientifique ou de discipline littéraire. Un certain nombre de disciplines sont entre les deux genres. En sciences, les membres d'une discipline forment une communauté scientifique et adhèrent aux mêmes critères de démarcation assujettis à la réfutabilité.
