Special Relativity; Mathematics; Physics.Abstract
The relationship between math and physics has always been a focus for scientists. This paper aims to deliver a general overview of the intersection of math and physics (in the age around the formation of special relativity) to inspire more people to have a deeper understanding of two subjects starting with the revolutionary birth and growth of 4-dimensional new physics in the 20th century. This paper discussed the relationship between mathematical models and physics by reviewing the evolution of special relativity and mathematical framework including spacetime and . , the geometric framework of 4-dimension new physics, updated Lorentz transformation and generalized Einstein’s special relativity. Furthermore, this paper reviewed changes in the relationship between math and physics and the relationship between math, theoretical physics, and experimental physics throughout time, providing insights from different scientists about the relationship between the development of physics and math nowadays.
