Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with mathematical methods that find use in science, engineering, business, computer science, and industry.

Description
Applied mathematics is a combination of mathematical science and specialized knowledge.
The term "applied mathematics" also describes the professional specialty in which mathematicians work on practical problems by formulating and studying mathematical models.
Pure mathematics
In the past, practical applications have motivated the development of mathematical theories, which then became the subject of study in pure mathematics where abstract concepts are studied for their own sake.
The activity of applied mathematics is thus intimately connected with research in pure mathematics.
