Hello. Just arrived here, saw a question in phys.org feeds and thought I could help a bit with it. I already like it here.
What is the Relationship Between Mathematics and Physics?
- Thread starter makrisj

In summary, the relationship between mathematics and physics is a close and fundamental one, with mathematics often being referred to as the "language of physics". Mathematics helps in understanding physics by providing a precise and quantitative way to describe and analyze physical phenomena. Physics cannot exist without mathematics, as it is the language that allows for the formulation of theories and laws, making predictions and understanding the fundamental laws of the universe. Some examples of the relationship between mathematics and physics include Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity and the use of mathematical models in quantum mechanics. It is not accurate to say that one is more important than the other, as both fields are essential in advancing our understanding of the universe.

My name is timothy i am from cork in ireland. i am intersted in the human body especially telepathy and all that stuff and i would like to know if there is a frequency humans can reach to do this .
other than that i am a normal dude with same pluses and failings as anyone. i love hurling (ancient irish sport) ... i practice martial arts .. and i worry about the state of humans on planet Earth as we i believe are going to the next level of consciousness in my opinion.

Welcome to the forum Timothy, please be sure to read our guidelines, we only allow discussions of known, mainstream science, so discussions about telepathy would not be allowed.Timothy Cronin said:

Maybe you thought that this was the PSYCHIC forum, instead of a PHYSICS forum.

We don't allow discussions of non-mainstream topics at all, and just to be clear, there would be no mathematics or physics of such topics to be discussed since none exist.Timothy Cronin said:
FAQ: What is the Relationship Between Mathematics and Physics?
What is the relationship between mathematics and physics?
The relationship between mathematics and physics is a close and fundamental one. Mathematics is often referred to as the "language of physics" because it provides the tools and concepts necessary to describe and understand the physical world. In many cases, mathematical equations and models have been developed to explain and predict physical phenomena.
How does mathematics help in understanding physics?
Mathematics helps in understanding physics by providing a precise and quantitative way to describe and analyze physical phenomena. It allows for the formulation of theories and laws that can be tested and verified through experiments. Mathematics also helps in making predictions about the behavior of physical systems, which can then be tested and refined through further experimentation.
Can physics exist without mathematics?
No, physics cannot exist without mathematics. As mentioned earlier, mathematics is the language of physics and provides the necessary tools for understanding and describing the physical world. Without mathematics, it would be impossible to formulate and test theories, make predictions, and understand the fundamental laws that govern the universe.
What are some examples of the relationship between mathematics and physics?
There are many examples of the relationship between mathematics and physics. One of the most famous is Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which uses advanced mathematical concepts such as tensor calculus to describe the relationship between space, time, and gravity. Another example is the use of mathematical models in quantum mechanics to explain the behavior of subatomic particles.
Is mathematics more important than physics?
It is not accurate to say that one is more important than the other. Mathematics and physics are both essential fields of study that complement each other. While mathematics provides the language and tools for understanding the physical world, physics provides the real-world applications and experiments that test and validate mathematical theories. They are both equally important in advancing our understanding of the universe.
