Mathematics
has proven to be "unreasonably effective" in understanding nature. The
fundamental laws of physics can be captured in beautiful formulae. In
this lecture I want to argue for the reverse effect: Nature is an
important source of inspiration for mathematics, even of the purest
kind. In recent years ideas from quantum field theory, elementary
particles physics and string theory have completely transformed
mathematics, leading to solutions of deep problems, suggesting new
invariants in geometry and topology, and, perhaps most importantly,
putting modern mathematical ideas in a `natural’ context.
