The language of code
Mathematicians and physicists may have a "love-hate relationship" because they don't speak the same language. Fortunately, the mathematician and the physicist can meet at the computer (numerical relativity, quantum Monte Carlo, etc.) and begin to speak a common language: The language of code.

(There really is no concrete language of mathematics until it's expressed in code: LaTeX/Mathematics for display, a coding language for execution.)
