Of course Math serves many fields, but have you ever found a research paper that applied Math to, say, Biology and didn't use a bit too much hand-waving? Of all fields of application of mathematical ideas, Physics has been (by far) the most successful. Wigner wrote all about it.
- klipt 17y agoFor biology you need a particular branch of math: statistics. Of course the same is true of physics when you look at it on a small enough scale. With the small datasets some biologists work with, you might not get a useful result, but at least you can quantify how unuseful it is!
