Abstract

Professor Lipson has certainly set up a most interesting target to shoot at with his remarks on theoretical physics in the December issue. It is probably more valuable,however, to use his remarks as a base upon which to build a clear idea of the nature of the link between mathematics and physics. Certainly such a discussion must bring in the names of two famous men on the cover of the Bulletin: Newton and Maxwell.
