E T Bell, the famous author of 'Men of Mathematics', has described mathematics as the 'Queen of Arts and Servant of Science'. What he meant is that mathematics serves science by entering into the picture as soon as a proper mathematical model is set up by the scientist, and then after a purely mathematical analysis of the model, the final mathematical step is interpreted scientifically. The purpose of the present article is to convince the readers that sometimes the roles of science and mathematics are reversed, and a mathematical problem is interpreted as a physics problem; the laws of physics are utilized for a physical analysis, and the final result of the physical analysis is interpreted mathematically. We shall illustrate this by means of few examples.
