Abstract

About 50 years ago it was pointed out by Dr. Eugene Wigner that applications of mathematics to a wide range of physical problems were inexplicably effective in both their immediate practical results and predictive power.

We consider some of the similarities and differences that distinguish these two modalities with which certain features of physical reality are apprehanded, analyzed and manipulated.
