Physics

2008-07-10T22:18:00.000-07:00

Physics is the science of matter [1] and its motion,[2][3] as well as space and time.[4][5] It uses concepts such as energy, force, mass, and charge. Physics is an experimental science,[6] creating theories that are tested against observations. Broadly, it is the general scientific analysis of nature, with a goal of understanding how the universe behaves.[7]
Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, and through its modern subfield of astronomy, it may be the oldest of all.[8] Experimental physics began in the Middle Ages and eventually emerged as a modern science during the early modern period.[9] Those who work professionally in the field are known as physicists.
Advances in physics often translate to the technological sector, and sometimes influence the other sciences, as well as mathematics and philosophy. For example, advances in the understanding of electromagnetism have led to the widespread use of electrically driven devices (televisions, computers, home appliances etc.); advances in thermodynamics led to the development of motorized transport; and advances in mechanics motivated and benefitted from the development of calculus, quantum chemistry, and the use of instruments such as the electron microscope in microbiology.
Today, physics is a broad and highly developed subject. Research is often divided into four subfields: condensed matter physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; high-energy physics; and astronomy and astrophysics. Most physicists also specialize in either theoretical or experimental research, the former dealing with the development of new theories, and the latter dealing with the experimental testing of theories and the discovery of new phenomena. Despite important discoveries during the last four centuries, there are a number of unsolved problems in physics, and many areas of active research.

Economic

2008-07-10T22:07:00.001-07:00

Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The term economics comes from the Greek for oikos (house) and nomos (custom or law), hence "rules of the house(hold)."[1]
Modern economics developed out of the broader field of political economy in the late 19th century, owing to a desire to use an empirical approach more akin to the physical sciences.[2] A definition that captures much of modern economics is that of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay: "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses."[3] Scarcity means that available resources are insufficient to satisfy all wants and needs. Absent scarcity and alternative uses of available resources, there is no economic problem. The subject thus defined involves the study of choices as they are affected by incentives and resources.
Areas of economics may be divided or classified into various types, including:
microeconomics and macroeconomics
positive economics ("what is") and normative economics ("what ought to be")
mainstream economics and heterodox economics
fields and broader categories within economics.
One of the uses of economics is to explain how economies, as economic systems, work and what the relations are between economic players (agents) in the larger society. Methods of economic analysis have been increasingly applied to fields that involve people (officials included) making choices in a social context, such as crime,[4] education,[5] the family, health, law, politics, religion,[6] social institutions, and war.[7]

Econophysics

Econophysic stands from two words combined. That's economic and physic.

I would like to ask all of you provides some idea regarding the econophysic.

Some of it as below:
