The notions of “mathematicalness” and “mathematicability” of nature appear in the context of attempts at explaining the effectiveness of mathematics in the description of the world. Mathematicalness of nature means that structures of the world are mathematical. But is this true? Is nature mathematical? In the paper some reasons for mathematicalness of nature are considered. However, a condition for the application of mathematics is idealization or abstraction of reality. So, do mathematical theories used in physics grasp the structure of the world, or an idealized image of the world? Mathematical analysis is widely used in physics. Its application requires continuity of time and space. There are also different kinds of infinity in the mathe...
