Opis

The beauty and the mystery surrounding the interplay between mathematics and physics is captured by E. Wigner's famous expression, The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics. We don't know why, but physical laws are described by mathematics, and good mathematics sooner or later finds applications in physics, often in a surprising way. In this sense, mathematical physics is a very old subject-as Egyptian, Phoenician, or Greek history tells us.
