Applied science is the application of the scientific method and scientific knowledge to attain practical goals. It includes a broad range of disciplines, such as engineering and medicine. Applied science is often contrasted with basic science, which is focused on advancing scientific theories and laws that explain and predict natural or other phenomena.[2]
There are applied natural sciences, as well as applied formal and social sciences. Examples include genetic epidemiology which applies statistics and probability theory, and applied psychology, including criminology.[citation needed]
