    Sha Btsta
    The document outlines the main branches and sub-branches of science. It divides science into three main categories: social sciences, which deal with human interactions; abstract sciences, which employ mental faculties to study ideas like mathematics and logic; and natural sciences, which are further divided into physical sciences about non-living matter and forces, and biological sciences concerning living organisms. Under each category are numerous sub-disciplines that focus on specific domains of inquiry within the relevant field of science.
