MP emphasises the maths more and may try to rigorously establish the valididty of physical theories on mathematical grounds.
TP does not emphasis the rigorous maths and mostly tries to reconcile theory with experiment. Either finding theory to explain an observation or predict physical phenomenas that can be tested by experiment.
