Math is certainly required to understand the theory and to synthesize experimental observations into a working model, but I wouldn't put it at more than 50-60%.

Math is certainly required to understand the theory and to synthesize experimental observations into a working model, but I wouldn't put it at more than 50-60%. Most of the math is fairly basic relatively speaking, even at the highest levels of physics.
- soup10 12y agoRelative to what lol. What other applied field has more advanced math?
- Iftheshoefits 12y agoI don't know about other applied fields but I was referring to the field of math itself with that remark.

- ArkyBeagle 12y agoI didn't get that far in math, but in physics classes after Junior Physics Lab , I once or twice questioned the assumptions. There's always a theorem you don't know about. There is a lot to math.
