Physics? Numerical analysis is Mathematics. It's still active and very important, e.g., in solving PDEs using the finite element method.

  Mathematics? The people trying to find solutions of an equation by solving them? Mathematicians is a weird education I hardly understand. The last PhD I met from Mc Gill university ignored the existence of non euclidean geometry. His excuse? He was on formal proof. I am sorry, I have a hard time with people that never were challenged to make equations spit their solutions in order to make something actually work in the real world with limited time and money. It is the same difference I see between athletes and ergotherapists, or Einstein and Poincaré.
