矿物科学的理论结构

矿物科学作为一个具有众多分支学科的学科体系，从本质上讲，其理论组成主要包括矿物及其性质两大部分。矿物科学作为一个具有比较严密理论的学科，其理论结构是由一个内核及其扩展或衍生的若干个保护层组成。矿物科学理论内核是矿物学，因为矿物学比较稳定而且难于动摇的基本理论和基本概念，已成为矿物科学的最基本部分与立论的基础。矿物科学的保护层是由它的三大分支学科群，即基础扩展分支学科群．学科交叉与应用分支学科群，以及测试分析理论与技术分支学科群组成．它们之间是相互支撑、相互补充的关系。矿物科学作为一个新兴学科，其理论内核需要不断加以充实和加固，而保护层更需要进一步加强和扩大。因此，矿物科学具有巨大的发展空间和十分光明的发展前号。

THE THEORETICAL STRUCTURE OF MINERAL SCIENCES

Mineral sciences,as a subject system with many branches,its theoretical composition are composed of two major parts,minerals and their behaviour.Mineral sciences,as a subject with strict theory,its theoretical structure are composed of one core and several protective layers.The core of mineral sciences is mineralogy because its basic concepts and principles are very stable and have become the most fundamental theory and concept of mineral sciences.The protective layers of mineral sciences consist of three big branch groups:mineral engineering;the fundamental expanding,mineral engineering;the interdisciplinary and application,and mineral engineering;the theory and technology of test and analysis.And those branch groups support and supply each other.Mineral sciences,as a new subject,its core needs to be enriched and reinforced continuously,and its protective layers need to be enlarged and enhanced still further.So,mineral sciences has a huge developing space and very bright developing prospects.
