Stephen Hawking 1942-
KSC Physics Minor Requirements

"I don't know why it should be but it's been uncanny really the way mathematics starting with Newton and Maxwell and Goyonda, Einstein and the development of quantum mechanics, the very sophisticated mathematics has proved to be really useful in getting a fundamental understanding of nature. It's a total mystery to me why that should be. But it continues to work and as we try to develop new ideas we seem to continue to have successes at achieving understandings of physical law in mathematical language. It's very remarkable." -Stephen Hawking
