Actual math is needed to apply and produce results. Physics is need to interpret and modify your hypothesis accordingly, as well as make the connection to the physical universe.

Concepts such as "Least Action", "Symmetry" and "Conservation" (and the interplay between them), could perceivably be explained in a grad level "philosophy of physics" course (without the math or physics). The Concepts themselves (while mathematically consistent and physically verified) can be introduced without physics or math.

As in all forms of teaching, it is all about making the material relavent to the audience. However a good phil of physics teacher is often hard to find. If Interested, you should go to your local uni, find the teacher of "phil of physics", and ask for relavent books that introduce these subjects for the "unmathematically inclined".

Note: if so, you will never know it as well as the physicist or the mathematicans. But at least you will be familar with the basics.
