Do mathematicians work with physicists?
A tale of two disciplines. Math and physics are two closely connected fields. For mathematicians, physics can be a source of inspiration, with theoretical concepts such as general relativity and quantum theory providing an impetus for mathematicians to develop new tools.
Do mathematicians like physics?
Mathematicians love physics. One reason is that physics provides a very nice living for a large percentage of them. Problems have arisen, however, between math departments and the engineering and physics departments.
Are mathematicians smarter than physicists?
Mathematicians are arguably better with abstractions, by very nature of what they study. Physicists are arguably better with building tractable models of the real world. Both statements are gross generalizations.
Should a mathematician know physics?
A proper appreciation of pure mathematics requires some knowledge of applied mathematics and theoretical physics. Some of my professors have told me that modern Mathematics require some knowledge about Quantum Mechanics and theoretical Physics.
Was Einstein a physicist or mathematician?
Albert Einstein was a German mathematician and physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.
What kind of math do physicists use?
Honestly, physicists use almost all types of math. Higher mathematics is very common, such as tensor and multivariable calculus. Physicists also use differential geometry, vector calculus, differential equations, linear algebra and lie algebra.
What is the average IQ of mathematicians?
IQ is defined so that the mean score of a large population tends to be close to 100. When people get better at taking tests, which some take as a sign that the population is getting smarter, they renormalize how the test is scored to make the mean tend to 100. So my guess is the IQ of the average mathematician is 100.
Do mathematicians have high IQ?
Yes. Physics/math PhDs tend to have an average IQ of around 145 on deviance scales.
What year Albert Einstein died?
April 18, 1955
Albert Einstein/Date of death
What do physicists think of Mathematicians?
Physicists appreciate mathematicians’ ability to create new mathematical ideas and techniques that later find applications in physics (examples would be complex numbers and analysis, group theory, linear algebra, topology and differential geometry).
Are mathematicians smarter than philosophers?
Mathematicians depend on philosophy and logic to express purity of human thoughts in a formal language. Once you add Philosophers to the mix, we cannot conclude that one is smarter than the other. They all need each other to express themselves intellectually. Albert Einstein died wishing he knew more math.
What happens to mathematicians in the end?
$\\begingroup$Mathematicians in the end die. They cannot disagree when they are dead, but they might not agree either.
Who is the greatest mathematician of the modern era?
Hilbert is one the greatest mathematician in modern era in the same way that Einstein is one of the greatest physicists. The intention of a mathematician is different from that of a physicists.
