In [[science]], the term '''natural science''' refers to a [[Rationalism|rational]] approach to the study of the [[universe]], which is understood as obeying [[rules]] or [[laws]] of [[nature|natural]] origin. The term ''natural science'' is also used to distinguish those fields that use the [[scientific method]] to study [[nature]] from the [[social sciences]], which use the scientific method to study human behavior and society, and from the [[formal science]]s, such as [[mathematics]] and [[logic]], which use a different [[methodology]].
