A) In general, an academic discipline or field signifies an area of knowledge which is taught at the College or at the University. Initially titles of curriculum were linked in German Universities during the 19th century. These sciences were approved and accepted in other countries step by step in the beginning of the 20th century. Consequently, they became the traditional standard subjects. Obviously, these sciences included physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy, which are nowadays considered to be the oldest academic disciplines. Academic fields develop as a result of discoveries or explorations made in different spheres of science. In fact, all of them are interrelated._______________________________________________
