The difference between mathematical physics and theoretical physics is that the former proceeds in terms of theorems, so that the mathematical rigour is a guide, the latter mainly looks at the physical plausibility of achieved results, without paying much attention to mathematical rigour. | |
| Feb 2, 2023 at 17:48 | comment | added | paul garrett | This answer is very enlightening to me! As a mathematician using some of these ideas from physics in application to number theory, naturally I don't mind a little more overhead... and, for me, various rigged-Hilbert-Space ideas (e.g., $L^2$ Sobolev spaces) in combination with the Stone-vonNeumann spectral theory of unbounded operators is the most explanatory for me. I've long suspected that physicists took "physical phenomena" as entirely adequate substitutes for "proof", and I can understand that! Using things outside their testable range is more risky. :) Thanks again for your explanation! | |
