{{oq|en|If the distinction between mathematical and theoretical physics has any significance its application to Sommerfeld ranges him decidedly in the mathematical section. His gift was not so much the divination of new fundamental principles from apparently insignificant indications or the daring combination of two different fields of phenomena into a higher unit, but the logical and mathematical penetration of established or problematic theories and the derivation of consequences which might lead to their confirmation or rejection. Yet it is true that in his later, spectroscopic period, he developed a gift for the divining or guessing of mathematical relations from experimental data.}}
