To quote my former physics teacher:

If you remove maths from physics you're left with philosophy.

I'm not qualified enough to approve or contest this statement, but I know for a /phisicistsfact that there was a time when great mathematicians were also great philosophers and they couldn't conceive doing one without the other (Leibnitz or Descartes, among many others). Why I changed and exactly how, I don't know, but I find it interesting.

Philosophy and maths are still linked via formal logic.
