Mathematics and physics: mother and daughter or sisters?

The unity of mathematics and physics is emphasized in a paper previously presented, in part, in 1998 at a meeting of the French Mathematical Society, and at the Russian Academy of Sciences (seminar at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics and V L Ginzburg’s seminar at the Physics Institute).
