Talk:Outline of applied physics

List of "Fields and Research Areas"


I've tried to cleanup the list. Here are some questionable ones:
 * chemical vapor deposition processes : seems like chemistry
 * vacuum tunneling?
 * fiber and guided wave devices: covered under fiber optics, right?

Also, look at Category:Applied and interdisciplinary physics for more stuff delton 05:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

List of "Institutions/organizations"
Presently lists only applied physics institutions with their own wikipedia pages (see edit by 朝彦). In keeping with WP:NOTCATALOG, would it be better to eliminate this list entirely? I'm not sure, but it does seem that such a list is prone to self-interested additions. Tls60 (talk) 18:41, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines
"Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
