Title: What is Physical Mathematics?
Abstract: Physical mathematics is a new and very active area of research
at the interface of physics and mathematics. However, its roots go
back to antiquity. We will discuss the ancient
origins of this subject and highlight some important achievements
in this area leading up to current developments. They have given us
surprising new results and new perspectives on old results in mathematics
starting with results from experimental and theoretical physics.
