applied sciences

What is the importance of applied sciences?

Applied Sciences take results of research in the "pure sciences" like physics and mathematics, and use them to actually create new technologies, new social processes, new materials and medical treatments, introduce those new scientific concepts into society and exploit them to our advantage.  You don't get trains, planes, or automobiles without engineers, you don't implement new ways of education or new methods to treat diseases based on research, without applied sciences like engineers and doctors.

The BEST applied science is the one you are most interested in, the one you excel in the most.  Which of the primary sciences do you like most? Math, physics, chemistry, biology (especially anatomy/physiology), social sciences, now people will be mad at me because this is not an exhaustive list, but you get the idea.  Almost any scientific discipline has its method of having its science be an applied science, creating actual useful things, ideas, processes, changes to social attitudes, etc. in our modern society.
