All exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation.

— Bertrand Russell

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works.

— Antony Garrett Lisi

Most important part of doing physics is the knowledge of approximation.

— Lev Landau

Physicists have come to realize that mathematics, when used with sufficient care, is a proven pathway to truth.

— Brian Greene

Mathematical physics is in the first place physics and it could not exist without experimental investigations.
