Forensic Science Applications in Mathematics Physics and Chemistry

Forensic science applies scientific methods to solve legal cases, involving field, laboratory, and medical branches. Field scientists handle crime scene investigations, laboratory scientists analyze evidence, and medical scientists perform autopsies. Forensic science is used in criminal and civil justice systems, food safety, and environmental issues.
