   May 2, 2019 · Witten has great mathematical talent, but also great talents as a physicist, and it is the physics that more strongly motivates him than the math. Over the years his greatest work has often brought new mathematics to bear on physics, but this more often has been in the service of solving physics problems, not mathematics problems.
