Talk:Relationship between mathematics and physics

"This article is written like a a personal reflection or opinion essay that states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts."


 * Seriously? Look the names in the references: Albert Einstein, Paul Dirac, Richard Feynman, Vladimir Arnold, Michael Atiyah, John von Neumann, Henri Poincaré, G. H. Hardy, Eugene Wigner, Edward Witten... The part about history is fully referenced... And if the opinions presented in the article are not in accordance with what is written in the references, you should cite specific excerpts of the article that seem to be just my "particular feelings about the topic"... I do believe that the article is not good yet, but to say that what is presented are personal opinions is just plain wrong. Ariel C.M.K. (talk) 18:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with the user who placed the tag, the article as is reads like a short essay with quotes from those people. The title of the article pigeonholes you into a topic that may not be appropriate for an encyclopedia in my opinion. Zeusu 18:30, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Why exactly is it not appropriate for an encyclopedia? It was discussed by many celebrated thinkers, and there are entire books dedicated to this matter. Although in the list of references there is only one such book (The Role of Mathematics in Physical Sciences, by Boniolo, Budinich and Trobok), I can add more to the list if you find it necessary. So, I think the theme is encyclopedic, and if there is a problem about this article, then it is not due to appropriateness but due to its current state (which I agree can be improved a lot). Best wishes, Ariel C.M.K. (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

I forgot this part: "Please help improve it by rewriting it in an encyclopedic style.". I totally agree that it needs to be rewritten, but please don't delete it, as I'm sure that what I did is not totally useless. Ariel C.M.K. (talk) 19:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Suggestions
I think this article was the victim of some lazy drive-by tagging. You have made a good start. In particular, you have assembled a fine collection of secondary sources (now in Further reading). Now you need to make more use of them and make this more of a critical survey of the subject. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:51, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry - I don't think there is any danger of the article being deleted. RockMagnetist (talk) 17:52, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Concerned about that conic section drawing
Unless the axis of the orange hyperbola is parallel to the axis of the cone (doesn't seem to be), that orange section is not a hyperbola, but just another parabola.

This needs fixed. Hooya27 (talk) 20:06, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
