> Eugene Wigner once wrote an article titled “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences.” I don’t know what he wrote in the article, but it is certainly a fact that, up to now, especially in the domain of fundamental physics, we have had striking success with our use of mathematics

It is odd that he mentions it only to say that he doesn’t know it.

I didn’t find the article main point particularly strong, but all the references and overall mentions were interesting.
