‘ He continued: ‘That’s why I said if you meet me you have to say “is math related to science?”, because that’s how I know if you’re a cloutchaser or if you’re a genuine 19-year-old. ‘ Pewds – real name Felix Kjellberg – went on to say there is a difference in how his fans from different countries react.
Do mathematicians argue?
No one is arguing, or can argue, about the correctness of octonions, or whether we could formulate differential equations in terms of non standard analysis. The arguments come about, whether it’s important to study these things, or just what things must you know, to be a “mathematician.”
What sets the mathematics of physics apart from other sciences?
Another thing that sets the mathematics of physics apart from maths as applied in other sciences is its incredible precision. As one example of many, consider a number called the factor, which serves to describe how the spin of an electron responds to an electromagnetic field.
How hard is the Maths of Physics?
Once a mathematical description of a physical theory has been found, it is often surprisingly simple. This doesn’t mean that the maths of physics is easy — far from it. It means that advances in physics don’t come with ever more convoluted mathematics. Breakthroughs in physics happen when someone finds a new way of looking at a problem;
Does mathematics express something deep about the nature of reality?
Indeed, many physicists feel that mathematics expresses something deep about the nature of physical reality. Why do they feel that? And can physics return the favour?
How can mathematics be useful in physics?
That mathematics should be useful in physics is no surprise. Whenever we need to measure, count, and understand patterns or relationships in the world, maths is an essential tool.
