Best Answer

For a survey of recent literature on a scientific subject, the phrase 'current literature' would be well understood.

In any scientific investigation, the first research area should be to study the current state of knowledge on the subject.

Nowadays this is much easier with the power of internet searching, but much of the literature earlier than about the 1960s may not be accessible to search engines.

This defect is gradually being overcome with clever machines that can actually automatically turn through the pages of a bound volume, but the current state of character recognition leaves a little to be desired. Unusual characters in the original document will not be recognized. But the advances in this research area are quite impressive and welcome.

What other subject could rational number used for?

There is insufficient information for us to even begin to understand this question. Please edit the question to include more context or relevant information. The expression "other subject" implies that you already have some subject(s) in mind. However, you have chosen not to share what they are. It is, therefore, impossible for us to determine whether the subjects that we can identify are ones that you already know about or if it is an "other" subject.
