*Title:* Reversing the direction of application, from physics to mathematics

*Abstract:* Traditionally mathematics is applied to physics.  Yet, humans
tend to be better at physics than at mathematics. When an apple falls from
a tree, there are more people who can catch it—they know physically how the
apple moves—than those who can compute its trajectory from a differential
equation.  Applying physical ideas to discover and make sense of
mathematical results is therefore natural, even if it has seldom been tried
in the history of science.  (The exceptions include Archimedes, some old
Russian sources, a recent book of Levi’s, as well as my articles and
lectures.). A variety of surprising examples will be presented.

*Tadashi Tokieda grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical
philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France and, after a
PhD in pure mathematics from Princeton, has been an applied mathematician
in Europe and North America.  He is now a professor at Stanford.  He is
also active in outreach around the world, especially via the youtube
channel Numberphile and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences.*
