Physics is the fundamental branch of science that developed out of the study of nature and philosophy. Today, physics is defined as the study of matter, energy, and the relationships between them. Physics is the oldest and most basic pure science. Its discoveries find applications throughout the natural sciences, since matter and energy are the basic constituents of the natural world. The other sciences are generally more limited in their scope and may be considered as the branches that have split off from physics. Acoustics, geophysics, astrophysics, aerodynamics, plasma physics, low-temperature physics, and solid-state physics, optics, fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, and mechanics are areas of physical research. Physics today may be divided into classical physics and modern physics.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_physics
The history of mathematics is nearly as old as humanity itself. Mathematics may be defined as the study of relationships among quantities, magnitudes and properties. The discipline of mathematics now covers research fields of number theory, algebra, geometry, analysis, statistics, functional analysis, complex analysis, and many more.

The roof of natural sciences is physics as some physicists are used to saying. What is mathematics is a question of debate for centuries or may be referred to as eternal problems.

6. Read and translate
All substances have properties that we can use to identify them. There are two basic types of properties: physical and chemical properties. Physical properties are the properties which do not change the chemical nature of matter. They are color, smell, freezing point, boiling point, melting point, infra-red spectrum, attraction (paramagnetic) or repulsion (diamagnetic) to magnets, opacity, viscosity and density. Properties that can be discerned by changing chemical structure of matter are called
13
chemical properties. The examples of chemical properties are heat of combustion, reactivity with water, PH, and electromotive force. The more properties we can identify for a substance, the better we know the nature of that substance. These properties can then help us model the substance and thus understand how this substance will behave under various conditions.
