How are physics and mathematics numbers different?

They're not. Numbers and the math that manipulates them are fundamentally tools to model and describe the physical world. Thus, mathematics is the language of physics. You might as well ask "How are the words of languages different from the words of the world." regular mathematics uses variables that have different meanings in different expressions and situations than in regular arithmetic expressions.


What are the branches and subbranches of physics with their definitions?
