| Jan 2, 2014 at 8:57 | comment | added | Victor Protsak | I find it telling that just prior to this posting, two out of three top rated answers were from the realm of biological sciences and another interesting example involved statistics, while none of the answers involved physics. Clearly, physics is no longer viewed as the most important area for applying mathematics to "real life". | |
