Einstein’s view on the place of mathematics in physics. Lecturing to a commemorative session of the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Einstein questioned whether human reasoning, even without direct experience, could lead to an understanding of the properties of real things merely through thought. Regarding the question of why mathematics should be so well adapted to describing the physical world, he concluded, 'As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.' First appearing in the Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (from which there was also an author’s offprint in orange wrappers), this is the first separate trade edition; Weil 115.
