Mathematical physics is a mathematical theory and method aimed at studying physical problems. It discusses the mathematical model of physical phenomena, that is, to seek the mathematical description of physical phenomena, to study their mathematical solutions to physical problems established in the model, and then to explain and predict physical phenomena according to the solutions, or to modify the original model according to physical facts.

Extended data:

"Mathematics", also known as "mathematical physics", is an interdisciplinary field between mathematics and physics, which refers to the application of specific mathematical methods to study some parts of physics. The corresponding mathematical method is also called mathematical physics method.

The basic science of mathematics and physics (code: du070 103s) belongs to the category of science and mathematics.

This major mainly trains outstanding talents who can engage in teaching and scientific research in basic sciences such as mathematics and physics, especially those with innovative ability in mathematics and physics, and also trains new talents with good mathematical foundation for other disciplines with higher requirements on mathematical foundation.
