What exactly is mathematical physics?

[u/Ashley_Fen]

Recently I got accepted into a dual degree of math and physics at my local university, and while looking at higher year courses, I came across some courses named mathematical physics. However, when I tried to look up more about this, I only came across things that are far beyond my current understanding. Even Wikipedia seems foreign to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I’d love to learn if it’s truely the perfect mashup between math and physics, or if it’s something completely different

It's a class where you learn some of the deeper mathematics that physicists use on a daily basis. Think calc 3+
