Mathematics and Its Connection to Physics
10:48 - 17:02 (06:13)
Mathematics in the 20th and 21st century physics has become increasingly detached from the physical world, but there are still examples, like chaos theory, where the two fields are heavily connected and motivated.

Summary
Mathematicians come from three different veins of motivation: pure math, math motivated by specific applications to physics, and math motivated by computer science. The relation and play between math and physics can vary depending on the mathematician's background.
