Basic Science Awareness is essential from an exam point of view. Every graduate level exam will test you rigorously over Basic Science Awareness, basic physics awareness, basic chemistry awareness, and basic biology awareness.
Basic science principally refers to the scientific disciplines of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics as well as to their sub-disciplines. It gets a bit tricky with respect to sub-disciplines, for instance, Computational Chemistry or Computational Material Science, as they often interact with engineering disciplines like computer engineering, scientific computation, etc.
Science is a combined effort of mankind to understand the universe by observing nature and natural phenomenons. a physicist is trying to understand the fundamental particles and their natures by using physics which again is ‘Knowledge of Nature’ a chemist is trying to understand the composition of these articles/substances/compounds, a biologist is trying to understand the life and living organisms in nature, a mathematician is playing with numbers or mathematical models to explain the nature.
A career in Basic Science
Researcher – expand the frontiers of scientific knowledge
Technician – physically carry out tests and experiments
Applied scientist – apply science knowledge for practical uses
Science-based professions – such as pharmacy and veterinary practice
Educator – teach science at a school or university.
