Hi, my name is Charles, I have start my sixth semester in college in January. I'm in pure and applied science and now applied to mechanical Engineering. This glossary is about the Natural Science courses for news students to know a little bit, more about the content of this program.
astronomy
noun
Astronomy is the study of everything in the universe beyond Earth's atmosphere.
Example: You are interested over the cosmos, you should take astronomy.

biology
noun
Biology is the scientific study of life.It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field.
Example: In biology, we understand the universe of life by studying the cell.

chemistry
noun
Chemistry, the science that deals with the properties, composition, and structure of substances (defined as elements and compounds), the transformations they undergo, and the energy that is released or absorbed during these processes.
Example: We're going to learn chemistry.

derivative
noun
In mathematics, the derivative is a fundamental tool that quantifies the sensitivity to change of a function's output with respect to its input.
Example: What's the derivative of this graphic.

economy
noun
An economy is an area of the production, distribution and trade, as well as consumption of goods and services. In general, it is defined as a social domain that emphasize the practices, discourses, and material expressions associated with the production, use, and management of resources.

electricity
noun
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge.
Example: Close the light, you use electricity.
en: électricité
engineering
noun
The art or science of making practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences, as physics or chemistry.
Example: I am an engineering.

geology
noun
Also known as geoscience or earth science, Geology is the primary Earth science and looks at how the earth formed, its structure and composition, and the types of processes acting on it.
Example: We can understand these landscapes by read about geology.

integral
noun
The numerical measure of the area bounded above by the graph of a given function, below by the x -axis, and on the sides by ordinates drawn at the endpoints of a specified interval.
Example: Calculate the integral of x.

magnetic
noun
Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges.
Example: Look how magnetic these magnet are.
en: magnétisme
mechanics
noun
Mechanics is the area of physics concerned with the relationships between force, matter, and motion among physical objects.
Example: With the mechanics' expression, can you solve this problem.
en: mécanique
quantum
noun
In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction. Quantum is a discrete quantity of energy proportional in magnitude to the frequency of the radiation it represents. The fundamental notion that a property can be "quantized" is referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization.
Example: This reaction can be explicated by quantum.

scientific Method
noun and adjective
The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge that has been referred to while doing science since at least the 17th century.
Example: This article's built with the scientific method.
en: méthode scientifique
technology
noun
Technology is the application of conceptual knowledge to achieve practical goals, especially in a reproducible way.
Example: With the technology, we can involve quickly.
en: Technologie
wave
noun
A progressive disturbance propagated from point-to-point in a medium or space without progress or advance by the points themselves, as in the transmission of sound or light.
Example: We can listen radio because it can catch wave.
