- Field of study An academic discipline, or field of study, is a branch of knowledge which is taught and researched at the college or university level. Disciplines are defined , and recognized by the academic journals in which research is published, and the learned societies and academic departments or faculties to which their practitioners belong, a branch of knowledge
- Playing field A playing field is a field used for playing sports or games. They are generally outdoors, but many large structures exist to enclose playing fields from bad weather. Generally, playing fields are wide expanses of grass, dirt or sand without many obstructions. More recently, some types of fields have begun using a synthetic grass-like material, in sports, the area in which the sport is played
- Field of view The field of view is the (angular or linear or areal) extent of the observable world that is seen at any given moment, the area of a view imaged by a lens
- Field of use, the subject matter of a patent license limited to some but not all uses of the invention
- Visual field The term visual field is sometimes used as a synonym to field of view, though they do not designate the same thing. The visual field is the "spatial array of visual sensations available to observation in introspectionist psychological experiments", while 'field of view' "refers to the physical objects and light sources in the, the part of the field of view which can be perceived by the eye's retina
- Depth of field In optics, particularly as it relates to film and photography, the depth of field is the portion of a scene that appears acceptably sharp in the image. Although a lens can precisely focus at only one distance, the decrease in sharpness is gradual on each side of the focused distance, so that within the DOF, the unsharpness is imperceptible under, in photography, the distance in front of and beyond the subject that appears to be in focus
- FIELD (magazine), a literary magazine published by Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio
- Field Museum of Natural History The Field Museum of Natural History is located in Chicago, Illinois, USA.

- The Field (magazine) The famous sportsman Robert Smith Surtees, the creator of Jorrocks, was the driving force behind the initial publication. He saw a gap in the market for illustrated sporting literature, at a time when the rising wealth and leisure of the new Victorian industrialists and their offspring swelled a ready market for gentleman’s literature. He a field sports magazine published in England since 1853
Science and mathematics
- Field (mathematics) In abstract algebra, a field is an algebraic structure with notions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, satisfying certain axioms. The most commonly used fields are the field of real numbers, the field of complex numbers, and the field of rational numbers, but there are also finite fields, fields of functions, various algebraic, an algebraic structure with an addition and a multiplication operation satisfying the ordinary axioms of arithmetic
- Scalar field In mathematics and physics, a scalar field associates a scalar value to every point in a space. The scalar may either be a mathematical number, or a physical quantity. Scalar fields are required to be coordinate-independent, meaning that any two observers using the same units will agree on the value of the scalar field at the same point in space, a mapping that assigns scalar values to points in space
- Vector field In mathematics a vector field is a construction in vector calculus which associates a vector to every point in a subset of Euclidean space, a mapping that assigns vector values to points in space
- Tensor field In mathematics, physics and engineering, a tensor field assigns a tensor to each point of a mathematical space . Tensor fields are used in differential geometry, algebraic geometry, general relativity, in the analysis of stress and strain in materials, and in numerous applications in the physical sciences and engineering. As a tensor is a, a mapping that assigns tensor values to points in space
- Field (physics) In physics, a field is a physical quantity associated to each point of spacetime. A field can be classified as a scalar field, a vector field, a tensor field,or a spinor field according to whether the value of the field at each point is a scalar, a vector, a spinor or, more generally, a tensor, respectively. For example, the Newtonian, the presence of a quantity at every point of space
- electric field In physics, an electric field is a property that describes the space that surrounds electrically charged particles or that which is in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field. This electric field exerts a force on other electrically charged objects. The concept of an electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday, the effect of electric charged objects on surrounding space
- Field (geography), with a definition similar to that of physics but in a different context and using unique models and methods
- Field (computer science) In computer science, data that has several parts can be divided into fields. For example, a computer may represent today's date as three distinct fields: the day, the month and the year, a smaller piece of data from a larger collection (e.g., database fields)
- Field of sets In mathematics a field of sets is a pair where X is a set and is an algebra over X i.e., a non-empty subset of the power set of X closed under the intersection and union of pairs of sets and under complements of individual sets. In other words forms a subalgebra of the power set Boolean algebra of X. Elements of X are called points and those of, a mathematical structure of sets in an abstract space
- Field winding or field magnet, the stator Depending on the configuration of a spinning electromotive device the stator may act as the field magnet, interacting with the armature to create motion, or it may act as the armature, receiving its influence from moving field coils on the rotor of an electric motor
- Field-programmability, an electronic device's capability of being reprogrammed with new logic
Sociology and politics
- Field (Bourdieu) Field is one of the core concepts used by French social scientist Pierre Bourdieu. A field is a setting in which agents and their social positions are located. The position of each particular agent in the field is a result of interaction between the specific rules of the field, agent's habitus and agent's capital (Bourdieu, 1984). Fields interact, a sociological term coined by Pierre Bourdieu to describe the system of objective relations constituted by various species of capital
- Field Department, the division of a political campaign tasked with organizing local volunteers and directly contacting voters: see Political campaign staff, Field/Ground Department Political campaign staff are the people who formulate and implement the strategy needed to win an election. Many people have made careers out of working full-time for campaigns and groups that support them, but in other campaigns much of the staff might be unpaid volunteers.
- Sexual field, a term that describes systems of objective relations within collective sexual life.

Other technical uses
- Field (video) In video, a field is one of the many still images which are displayed sequentially to create the impression of motion on the screen. Two fields comprise one video frame. When the fields are displayed on a video monitor they are "interlaced" so that the content of one field will be used on all of the odd-numbered lines on the screen and, one half of a frame in an interlaced display

What's the most difficult fields in which to get a professor position?
Q. I know higher education tends to be a crowded field, but I am hearing rumblings that some fields are far more difficult to get positions in rather than others. For instance, I'm in the behavioral sciences (Sociology), and I've been told it will be easier to get a position than someone in humanities but not as easy as someone in, say, business. Is this true? Most of my research seems to show English, History, Humanities, and fields like Linguistics to be really crowded. Thanks.

A. It is hard to get a job in any of these fields. I've found that people with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics have been having a hard time getting jobs. This is partly because scientists from Eastern Europe have been taking a lot of the jobs. The answer to your question is more complicated depending on if you are asking about people applying to PhD programs or those who alreasy have a PhD. For example, it is harder for someone with a PhD in Sociology to get an academic job than someone with a PhD in Business. However, it is MUCH harder to get a PhD in Business than it is to get one in sociology. This is because the top B-Schools get lots of applications for very few slots.
