Possible Duplicates:
Examples where physical heuristics led to incorrect answers?
Examples of using physical intuition to solve math problems

V. I. Arnold argues (http://pauli.uni-muenster.de/~munsteg/arnold.html) that math is most effectively learned in conjunction with its physical motivation. Are there good examples of when physics provides insight into math, and are there recommended books that approach mathematics in such a fashion?
