What are the differences between a branch of Applied Mathematics that deals with a particular branch of science and the actual branch of science itself?
For example: Fluid Mechanics is a branch of Physics which a lot of Applied Mathematicians are doing research in. What exactly is the difference between the Applied Mathematician's approach to Fluid Mechanics and the Physicist's approach to Fluid Mechanics?
Or, more appropriate for my own studies: The differences between a Mathematical Biologist studying stochastic processes in Biology and a Biophysicist doing the same thing?
