Mathematical Physics aims to develop a precise quantitative understanding of the nature, structure and evolution of the physical world through the language of mathematics.
Its scope explores:
* quarks and leptons and the smallest fragments of the universe
* the material world we perceive directly with our senses
* stars, galaxies, and the origins and fate of the universe itself
It builds directly on the work of:
* Newton
* Maxwell
* Einstein
* Heisenberg
