The difference between mathematics and applied mathematics

Applied mathematics is a specific mathematical subject. Basic mathematics, computational mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics, operational research and cybernetics are all related to mathematics or some specific disciplines of mathematics.

Applied mathematics is an important bridge between mathematics and natural science, engineering technology and information, management, economy, finance, society and humanities. By establishing mathematical models and using increasingly powerful computers, the ideas and methods of applied mathematics have made remarkable achievements in many fields of science and engineering technology, and played an important role in the emergence and development of some new disciplines. Applied mathematics is also an important source of new mathematical problems. The research scope of applied mathematics is very extensive, including the basic theory of applied mathematics, the widely used possible mathematical methods, and the application of mathematical methods to solve practical problems.
