Branches Quote by Paul Dirac

For a physicist mathematics is not just a tool by means of which phenomena can be calculated, it is the main source of concepts…

— Freeman Dyson

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to…

The only object of theoretical physics is to calculate results that can be compared with experiment... it is quite unnecessary that any satisfactory description…

— Paul Dirac

What appear to be the most valuable aspects of the theoretical physics we have are the mathematical descriptions which enable us to predict events.…

— Celia Green

The branches of mathematics are as various as the sciences to which they belong, and each subject of physical enquiry has its appropriate mathematics.…

— Benjamin Peirce

Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different…

— Richard P. Feynman

“All of our ideas in physics require a certain amount of common sense in their application; they are not purely mathematical or abstract ideas.”

— Richard Feynman

The further a mathematical theory is developed, the more harmoniously and uniformly does its construction proceed, and unsuspected relations are disclosed between hitherto separated…

— David Hilbert

The problem of physics is how the actual phenomena, as observed with the help of our sense organs aided by instruments, can be reduced…

— Max Born

We should be guided by theory, not by numbers.

— W. Edwards Deming

“…numerical precision is the very soul of science, and its attainment affords the best, perhaps the only criterion of the truth of theories and…
