Mathematics is the language of physics. It allows physicists to express physical laws and relationships in precise, quantitative terms. Through mathematical equations, concepts like motion, energy, and forces are modeled and analyzed, helping to predict future events and describe natural phenomena. Mathematical tools such as calculus, algebra, and differential equations are essential in formulating and solving problems in physics.
