Famously, Wigner found the "effectiveness" of mathematics in defining and supporting physical theories to be unreasonable, for how incredibly well it worked. Why, in fact, should these mathematical structures be so well-fitting, and even heuristic in the scientific exploration and discovery of nature? This book argues that the effectiveness of mathematics in physics is reasonable. The author builds on useful analogies of prime numbers and elementary particles, elementary structure kinship and the structure of systems of particles, spectra and symmetries, and for example, mathematical limits and physical situations. The two-dimensional Ising model of a permanent magnet and the proofs of the stability of everyday matter exemplify such effectiveness, and the power of rigorous mathematical physics. Newton is our original model, with Galileo earlier suggesting that mathematics is the language of Nature. 606 $aMathematics$xPhilosophy 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aPhilosophy of Mathematics 606 $aPhilosophy of Physics 606 $aMathematical Physics 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 615 0$aMathematics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aPhilosophy of Mathematics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Physics. 615 24$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a510.1 700 $aKrieger$b Martin H$0125017 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910841857903321 996 $aPrimes and Particles$94142077 997 $aUNINA
