Feynman-"what differs physics from mathematics"

in a nutshell as for me the differences between both faculties - always being the jurist now - are that physics constitute the case as mathematics constitute the tool with the help of which you can either pull off the subsumption with respect to already existing norms - the axioms - of physics or you can also set up new axioms by the development of theorems...
Le p'tit Daniel, mathematics is as abstract as it can be and it is as unanimous as it can be... ...iurisdiction in germany has some regulations to maintain this also as it is science and its implementation is science applied ( angewandte Wissenschaften... ...angewandte Rechtswissenschaften in this case ), and them fucking ( not the fourth integral of them I already segemented... ) germans will have to account for the great havoc they caused by intention, the blast of the terminus medius, the lies they do not stop to promulgate to conceal their actions and their deeds in ultravirulent illegitimaticity....
I am now Daniel3... ...and it doesn't mean much to me, I take it as a compliment, but I thank God, that I am still alive and able thus to marry, but you bastards will go to jail and be the wife of some given inmate... ...as things are my girl-friend and my angels in general and me, we will miss another christmas with us being together but with now three attempts to finish me off, I will pray to Junia and Jesus and God to express how thankful I am, that we will finally get together shortly after Christmas so we will have plenty of time under the shield of God, that provided for me coming so far anyway... ...I won't break but they will... ...so fuck you all you bastards of the civitas diaboli, you godless pieces of shit... ...you will go down soon and you will never ever again throw harm and my beloved ones and me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God must use math to draw physics on Aether. Otherwise, why Physicists dont divorce and explain World without math?

As a student of both physics and mathematics, this man is speaking my language

Is it just me or does everyone in that room have glasses.

Me as a mathematician is still laughing about the expression "we nevet care about the general case"❤🎉

As someone who doesn't know what he's talking about I can confirm I prefer mathematics

I like Feynman a lot, but saying that maths is pure rigour & just abstract reasoning with no intuitive feel for what we're doing is a gross overstatement, if not plain wrong
Actual mathematicians will almost unanimously tell you that they have a very visceral, down-to-earth sort of relationship with the objects they manipulate, very far from this image of pure, abstract & detached reasoning (which is lucky, because we wouldn't get very far otherwise)

Notes from a washout in his math department.

in simple words , maths = solving puzzles even if those puzzles are not related to real life

His explaination is pretty degrading and misleading. Mathematics uses a lot of CONCRETE concepts for physicists like numbers which describe the physical world better than any sentence. Guess who worked out pi ? Mathematicians.

In short what mathematicians do is create a pattern which is what you'd call a formula. While, physicists understands and analyzes the geometry of the pattern to work it out. For eg, how you can phrase your chess patterns into real life problems.

Mathematicians be like, let this physics kid be in his illusion 💀☻️

Mathematics is about doing something useful while procrastinating application.

Wrong,
math formulas without proof in real life are all confusing nonsense until there's a real life proof. 😄

“Example isn't another way to teach, it is the only way to teach" - Albert Einstein

I think Mr.Feynman was very Ignorant of the Real Nature and Meaning of Mathematics.

And programming is just programming

Y los ingenieros no son físicos ni matematicos...

Looks like someone didn't get a good math teacher. ..

The ways in which a mathematician and a physicist define mathematics will reveal what they are: A physicist will (usually) use the word "formulas" as a part of the definition. A true mathematcian will avoid doing that.

Mathematicians like to keep things as general as possible, which is good. But sometimes specificity really helps in understanding things intuitively, aiding ease of reasoning. Great point.

i swear he's truly right about physicists are not slaves to mathematics. Every time I see my physics teachers, they always prepare things to make the class feel good, while the maths teachers always look serious and soulless.

This is the most important statement in all of "science".

It is satisfying when genius like Feynman states your thoughts.

As neither a mathematician nor a physicist the line that most surprised me was the one about the general case and the special case.

Could Einstein have gotten to special relativity if he hadn’t first worked out general relativity? Are string theorists and others not exploring exactly a world made up of 10 or 11 dimensions?

I’m an absolute layman but it would seem a lot of great discoveries in physics, astronomy etc. came from taking a broader picture. Which precisely led to insights that go against your gut feel (e.g. the sun doesn’t revolve around the Earth, it’s the other way around)

Bilal Zia Bought me here 🖤

Now physics is becoming much more complicated for physicists _ David Hilbert... Only because of math not any physics laws

Well also, sometimes physics can borrow from maths. And from there find out other things about physics.
I.e. you might realize "wait a minute, my physical system looks like it can be formulated through this mathematical concept." And then realize that the mathematical object you're using to describe you rsystem also has other properties which you can exploit, and verify if your system indeed possesses those other properties.

He was talking about mathematicians, not Math.

Desi legend 😊

Relationships

After watching this video and reading some of your comments
I've arrived at my own analogy on the difference between physics and mathematics -
Mathematics is going to the gym to train for a fight that's never fought while
Physics is stepping into the ring to fight Mike Tyson.

Pure mathematics doesn't related to real world thats why its so beautiful ❤️

Physicist are quite alike Animators, (controversial opinion) but with stronger Abstract Reasonings, in the meanings, of the connection to the narrative phrasing.

My favorite part was when he said "one helps the other". That pretty much summaries the entire video for me.

Basically, Math is the understanding of the relationship of numbers, patterns and orders

While Physics is the real world applications of such

BLM:"MATH is racist". Idiots and losers.

Dude could’ve literally just said “math is abstract, physics isn’t.”

So basically mathematicians are open source library and framework developers and physicists are product devs

Mathematicians suck balls.

I disagree with Richard Feynman. Symbols, Language, and Pure reasoning are all you need. There is no "real world." What you call "the real world" is simply a set concepts. The "real world" is just language, symbols, you will never get to the real world. You can only get to the concepts. It's all language

founder of science : maths so think before you talk

No offense, but from my very biased mathematician perspective, my impression of physics is that its ultimate goal is to identify 1 mathematical model (the one that describes the universe), and that all it does currently is to carry out some calculations on some simplified (and sometimes slightly inconsistent) versions of this model because the simplified versions exist and the sought one doesn't (at least yet, TBD if it ever will) or is too cumbersome. We all know these "simplified" versions are already extremely complicated and interesting, but I honestly never understood why physicists find calling some quantities in these mathematical models "force, mass, momentum" etc. etc. enlightening. I'm not saying it's not, it's just honestly beyond me and I hope one day I'll get it.

At some point he is claimed to have said: Physics is to math is what sex is to masturbation. As a mathematician I think this is fairly accurate, I would add however that sometimes sex is not that hot and masturbation can be amazing from time to time.

Ahhh thanks to the vid and all this comment I've finally come to an understanding why I like Physics and hate math. When learning calculus I am very tied to imagining it in real life which actually just confuses me more

Never has "well substitute n=3" gotten so many laughs.

Indian, chinese and persian mathematician's where eons ahead of european ,(western) in mathematics

Mathematics is the language of science and science includes physics, chemistry, biology and everything which is studied practically in real world applications.
