Applied science is the exact science of applying knowledge from one or more natural scientific fields to practical problems.
Several academic disciplines often considered to be applied sciences include agriculture, business, design, education, engineering, ergonomics, family and consumer science, forestry, health sciences, journalism and mass communications, law, library and information science, military science, public affairs and community service. Applied science can be used to develop technology. Gottfried Leibniz was the first to conceptualize this possibility and to forcibly try to convince society to take advantage of it. It is contrasted with Pure science.
Instrumental science, an applied science, is a systematic way of solving problems. It is not a science of discovery but rather deals with manipulation to solve a particular problem such as "The crops are dying. We need to find a way to stop this."
Instrumental sciences are well known for research and developments which often result in new technology.
