Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Technical Knowledge. This extensive body of work aims to encapsulate the sum total of human knowledge, with a particular emphasis on the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering.

What is Knowledge?

Knowledge is the understanding, awareness, or comprehension acquired through experience or study. In a more formal sense, it's the organized body of information that humanity has gathered over time. Our encyclopedia aims to be a comprehensive repository of this information. For a deeper understanding, see what-is-knowledge.md.

Science

Science is the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world. This involves disciplines like physics, chemistry, biology, and more. To delve deeper into the world of science, consult our article overview-of-science.md.

Mathematics

Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. It serves as the backbone for much of our scientific and technological progress. For a more comprehensive understanding, see our article overview-of-mathematics.md.

Engineering

Engineering applies scientific and mathematical principles to solve real-world problems. This encompasses numerous fields, from civil engineering to computer science. For more information, refer to our article overview-of-engineering.md.

Technology

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. It encompasses everything from everyday gadgets to cutting-edge innovations. For more details, check out overview-of-technology.md.

Humanities and Social Sciences

Although this encyclopedia emphasizes technical subjects, we also include articles on the humanities and social sciences. For more information on these disciplines, see humanities-and-social-sciences.md.

The Universe and Beyond

The universe is vast and full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled. This encompasses astronomy, cosmology, and other 'big picture' topics. For more, read overview-of-the-universe-and-beyond.md.
