| physics | The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc) that modify the general properties of bodies; natural philosophy. Chemistry, though a branch of general physics, is commonly treated as a science by itself, and the application of physical principles which it involves constitute a branch called chemical physics, which treats more especially of those physical properties of matter which are used by chemists in defining and distinguishing substances.

| health physics | The science concerned with problems of radiation protection relevant to reducing or preventing radiation exposure, and the effects of ionizing radiation on humans and their environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tokamak physics experiment | <radiobiology> Smaller successor to TFTR at Princeton. Engineering design underway, construction scheduled to begin in FY 1995. (09 Oct 1997) |
| los alamos meson physics facility | <radiobiology> Physics research facility at Los Alamos National Lab, major site for U.S. Muon-catalysed fusion research in the 1980s. May be shut down soon. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mathematical | Of or pertaining to mathematics; according to mathematics; hence, theoretically precise; accurate; as, mathematical geography; mathematical instruments; mathematical exactness. Mathematically. See: Mathematic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mathematical chaos | A dynamic system so sensitive to its precise current state (which in practice will never be known exactly) that its behaviour, though deterministic, is indistinguishable from random. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mathematical computing | Computer-assisted interpretation and analysis of various mathematical functions related to a particular problem. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mathematical determinant | A formal algebraic operation on the terms of a square matrix of quantities, fundamental in solving multiple simultaneous equations and widely used in regression analysis, notably in epidemiology and quantitative genetics. If determinant is zero, the equations have no unambiguous solution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mathematical genetics | The study of genetic traits by formal analysis, e.g., quantitative genetics, population dynamics, genetic epidemiology, modeling. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mathematical model | <epidemiology> A formal framework to convey ideas about the components of a host-parasite interaction. Construction requires three major types of information: (a) a clear understanding of the interaction within the individual host between the infectious agent and the host, (b) the mode and rate of transmission between individuals, and (c) host population characteristics such as demography and behaviour. Mathematical models can aid exploration of the behaviour of the system under various conditions from which to determine the dominant factors generating observed patterns and phenomena. They also aid data collection and interpretation and parameter estimation, and provide tools for identifying possible approaches to control and for assessing the potential impact of different intervention measures.
