Sir James Hopwood Jeans (1877-1946), was an English physicist and astronomer, who studied the nature of gases and sun radiations.  Educated at Cambridge, he went on to become a professor at Princeton in the area of applied mathematics.  In his work, The Mysterious Universe, 1930, Sir James Hopwood Jeans stated:

"All the pictures which science now draws of nature and which alone seem capable of according with observational fact are mathematical pictures....  From the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician." ¹
