actually the thing that matters was just that the physiscs lecturer called his bright students mathematicians instead of physicist. there was nothing so special that those students can answer the question since the were bright and clever.
if we were to go through definitions, according to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, a mathematician is a specialist or expert in mathematics and physicist is a noun for specialist in physics.
let's go back to the situation...
a physics lecturer, surely he was teaching physiscs, called his students mathematicians. But why in this beautiful world (masya Allah), didn't he called them physicists ?
... think a little bit further ...
