What is physical applied mathematics?

AI Thread Summary
Physical applied mathematics refers to the interdisciplinary relationship between mathematics and physics, emphasizing the application of mathematical techniques to solve physical problems. This concept has evolved over centuries, leading to the formal recognition of its significance in research and education. The term may be seen as an extension or rebranding of the established field of Mathematical Physics, which traditionally focuses on the mathematical foundations of physical theories. The discussion highlights the importance of this relationship in advancing both fields and encourages further exploration of its applications.

That sounds to me as if the natural interdisciplinary relationship between mathematics and physics, after centuries of existence, finally got a name.
 
I thought it already had, Mathematical Physics.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
