Title: The Intertwining of Mathematics and Physics

Abstract: It is often said that Mathematics is the language of Physics. But what does that mean? Indeed, although Physics is ultimately an experimental science, it would be impossible to analyze, describe and understand the results of experiments without the precise and logical framework that Mathematics offers. And it would also not be possible to develop theories and make predictions for as yet unobserved events based on those analyses. We will discuss some simple examples often encountered in Math and Physics courses.
