Editing Applied probability (section)

==Scope==
Much research involving [[probability]] is done under the auspices of '''applied probability'''. However, while such research is motivated (to some degree) by applied problems, it is usually the [[mathematics|mathematical]] aspects of the problems that are of most interest to researchers (as is typical of [[applied mathematics]] in general).

Applied probabilists are particularly concerned with the application of [[stochastic process]]es, and probability more generally, to the natural, applied and social sciences, including [[biology]], [[physics]] (including [[astronomy]]), [[chemistry]], [[medicine]], [[computer science]] and [[information technology]], and [[economics]].

Another area of interest is in [[engineering]]: particularly in areas of [[uncertainty]], [[risk management]], [[probabilistic design]], and [[Quality assurance]].
