You and amy1987 responding seem to think that math is the same thing as formulas. While there is a lot that can be done without formulas, physics is impossible without math. For instance, to understand spin one needs to understand representation theory. amy1987 mentioned QED. Well, QED certainly does have math. It presents complex numbers and path integrals and the stationary phase approximation. Math is just thinking that is absolutely and completely precise.
ADDED: I forgot to take the statements I reference in their context: responding to James_Miller. He clearly used ‘math’ to mean what appears in math textbooks. This makes my criticism invalid. I’m sorry.

You make several contradictory claims and I disagree with all of them.
Explain.
From the context, I guess that was not what James_Miller meant.
