Surveying the history of mathematical geology since the times of Lyell it is shown that its characteristic feature is that of interaction between a strongly historically inclined science and rather abstract mathematics/statistics. It is proven that mathematization of geology and experimental geology stimulate one another, and that mathematical geology can be of essential aid in formulating conceptual models and scientific theories to integrate and unify diverse geological phenomena.
