The Science of Maimonides
Hello Rabbi,
I would like to know whether the Rambam studied science and whether there are any halachic commands for studying science? If not, why did the Rambam study it, since it is not abrogation of the Torah, and so are you, the Rabbi. I would like to know what your approach is between the Torah and science. Does this stem from the desire to study or from the obligation (if there is an obligation)?

First, it is permissible to engage in matters of permission. This is how all the poskim concluded from the hidden issues between blessings and offerings. Second, there is certainly no problem with the Maimonides, since according to his view, science and philosophy (the creation of the universe and the chariot) are a great thing, and the existence of Abaye and Reba are small things. And third, even without exaggerating as the Maimonides did, it is clear that these are valuable things and it is important to study them even without a mitzvah (see Responsa Rema 69:9). In my view, this engagement is Torah in its entirety (even if not in its entirety). You can search here on the site for details.
