I thought ChatGPT's answer quite good to: "How much has the 'when you have a hammer' method affected the relationship between maths and physics?"

$The influence has been substantial. In this context, the “when you have a hammer” tendency refers to the habit of applying a familiar mathematical tool or conceptual framework to physical problems simply because one already knows how to use it, rather than because it is necessarily the most appropriate instrument. In the history of the physical sciences this inclination has shaped entire research programmes. A concise analysis follows. 1. Periods of mathematical dominance At several points physicists have treated particular mathematical formalisms as universal keys. Examples include: Classical calculus in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which encouraged the modelling of systems as smooth and continuous even when discontinuities or discrete structures were present. Group theory in early twentieth-century quantum mechanics, which offered powerful symmetry-based classifications but sometimes led to over-elaborate structure-hunting. Differential geometry after general relativity, which inspired attempts to recast diverse physical theories in geometric language whether or not the geometry added explanatory power. 2. Skewed research attention Once a mathematical technique becomes fashionable or tractable, it can draw physicists towards problems that suit the tool. This is evident in: The long dominance of linear models, favoured because they yield closed-form solutions, which delayed systematic attention to genuinely nonlinear behaviour in fluids, plasmas, and materials. The extended period in which perturbation theory was applied beyond its natural radius of convergence, simply because it was computationally accessible. 3. Limits on conceptual imagination A familiar formalism can constrain the kinds of physical questions researchers think to ask. For example, the early commitment to continuum models made it harder to conceptualise granular or emergent phenomena until new mathematical frames — chaos, fractals, cellular automata — became respectable. 4. Productiv…$
