'''Econophysics''' is a [[Heterodox economics|heterodox]] interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by [[Physics|physicists]] in order to solve problems in [[economics]], usually those including uncertainty or [[stochastic process]]es and [[Chaos theory|nonlinear dynamics]]. Some of its application to the study of financial markets has also been termed [[statistical finance]] referring to its roots in [[statistical physics]]. Econophysics is closely related to [[social physics]]. | '''Econophysics''' is a [[Heterodox economics|heterodox]] interdisciplinary research field, applying theories and methods originally developed by [[Physics|physicists]] in order to solve problems in [[economics]], usually those including uncertainty or [[stochastic process]]es and [[Chaos theory|nonlinear dynamics]].
