| May 5 at 21:14 | comment | added | Three Diag | Yeah, but physicists will drop terms based on intuition, have and compute ill defined integrals, assume solutions to a problem exists or assume convergence to some limit and not bother about it and leave it to the mathematical physicists to deal with | |
| May 5 at 19:56 | comment | added | user104446 | All right but pure math people do work on asymptotics - a vital tool in theoretical physics and app math. Ditto for perturbation theory. | |
