Index of related categories

In Scholarpedia categories are keywords used to label all articles related to the same topic. For each keyword, a page containing links to all articles with that keyword is automatically created. If D is a topic wider than a topic C, articles belonging to category C are not necessarily included in category D. A list of categories related to Physics follows.
