Review text

In this paper author describes the history of the relations between physics and mathematics as a long romantic story, and gives a detailed analysis first. Tthen he discusses an application of ideas of classical physics to several important problems of pure mathematics. One idea runs through examples: Classical physics can help mathematicians to handle nonlinear partial differential equations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00035].
