This work is the first explicit examination of the key role that
mathematics has played in the development of theoretical physics
and will undoubtedly challenge the more conventional accounts of
its historical development. Although mathematics has long been
regarded as the "language" of physics, the connections between
these independent disciplines have been far more complex and
intimate than previous narratives have shown. The author
convincingly demonstrates that practices, methods, and language
shaped the development of the field, and are a key to understanding
the mergence of the modern academic discipline. Mathematicians and
physicists, as well as historians of both disciplines, will find
this provocative work of great interest.
