A chapter in Mathematics Tomorrow, 1981, pp 231-236 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Mathematics and physics are closely related as disciplines. Their histories are intertwined, sometimes in the person of a single figure such as Newton. Each has helped to give form and emphasis to the other. The practice of physics requires a broad knowledge of mathematics, and the mathematician who seeks wider understanding in his or her own field does well to become familiar with the classical areas of physics.
