If I had to define what physics was I would say it was an application of applied math. Physics tries to give explanation for the way physical objects behave. However, math is different in the fact that sometimes it doesn't protain to a physical object. Sometimes math is used for theoretical problems. I doubt that there would be a physics problem that had to deal with proofs or the probability of something occuring. Math can be used as an application for engineers and physicists. Math is just so broad that it can apply to everything. The other day in my art history class, we learned that math and religion were very intertwine in the medieval ages. They viewed math as eternal like god and thought that math came before the world was created because god used math to create the world. It was really interesting how their theology could relate back to math. However, it just shows how math can be seen as influential towards everything.
