Considerations on the formalization and mathematization of physical phenomena.

Main Article Content
Formalization can be considered as a natural process of thinking or any cognitiveprocess, if it is taking in account that common usage is itself a formalizationprocess. But, what is formalization in the physics frame? Is there a basicdifference with natural processes of formalization? Is formalization analogousto mathematisation? what is the difference? In order to provide a more suitablebase to answer these questions, four different ways of formalization arecharacterized: 1) formalization of pragmatic type, 2) application of mathematics,3) axiomatization of physical theories and unification of phenomenic fields,and 4) mathematisation of a phenomenic field.
