Final remarks
There is a common perception that the relationship between mathematics and physics is very close because mathematics is a basic tool in studying physics. However, the use of physical principles or approaches in solving mathematics problems has often been neglected by teachers or students, especially at the secondary level. We hope the examples presented in this paper could bring some insight and inspirations to physics or mathematics teachers that physics can also be a useful tool in mathematics problem solving too. More examples and applications of physics to geometry can be found in the book written by Wen-Jun Wu (吳文俊, 2003).
