Mathematical Modelling in Theoretical Physics

  Dr.K.Radhakrishna,  Mary Vijaya Ratna A

Modelling is an activity in which we think about and make models to describe how devices or objects of interest behave. Mathematical modelling is of great importance in the natural sciences, especially in physics. Physics theories are invariably explained using mathematical modelling. The application of mathematics to any given problem in physics and the development of mathematical methods are necessary for the application and formulation of theoretical physics. In the nineteenth century use of abstract mathematical structures permitted a rigorous description of theoretical physics. There was a flow between mathematicians and physicists which led to new and deeper connections. Presumably one of the fundamental laws of motion is the law of gravitation which according to Newton is represented by simple equation, but according to Einstein it needs the development of elaborate analysis before its equation can be written down. The theory of relativity is very much accepted, inspite of it going against simplicity is its great mathematical beauty. Theoretical Physics requires a vast domain of pure or applied mathematics which is connected to non communicative multiplication. Originally scientists proposed that a single Higgs Boson could explain the energy range, but new theories such as super symmetry and extra hidden dimensions suggest multiple Higgs Bosons. No matter which of these theories, one thing is clear, that it would unlock a new world of physics for scientists to explore. The new approach of mathematics resulted in a more developed mathematical language, new powerful mathematical tools and inspired new application areas that have resulted in tremendous discoveries in other applied sciences including computer science and technology. This enabled physicists to use modern mathematical tool to solve deep classical problems left by previous generation.
