No, that's not true at all. Sure, you can explain some basic physics and chemistry concepts without going into a lot of mathematical details. But for many practical problems, you actually need to do calculations based on such principles - and that requires math.

Is it true that if you enjoy math and do well in it you will do better in physics chemistry as well as engineering and computer science?

If you do well in math, you probably will do better in the disciplines that use math.


Does physics and chemistry use mathematics at all?

Yes. Both use math; especially physics requires a lot of advanced math, at least at the more advanced levels.


What does being excellent at math have to do with doing well in physics and chemistry?

Physics and chemistry use mathematics in order to quantify their observations about the world. Most mathematics were invented by scientists who needed the math to quantify their work.


What math is required for taking chemistry?

Mathematics is the language of science and thus chemistry uses math. It is difficult to say how much math is involved but Physical Chemistry and Theorectical chemistry use quite a bit more than Organic or Inorganic Chemistry. Physical and theoretical chemistry probably involve over 40 % math.


What math do stuntmen use?

Physics. basic physics.


Can you do well in physics and chemistry if you are good at math and economics or is that a myth?

In my opinion, if you are good at math, then you will do well with economics and physics; both of which have a lot of math in them. Chemistry I would put in a different category; however, one assumes a mind used to learning math, physics and economics - all branches of Science - would be a mind geared toward science in general, including chemistry. Scientifically trained minds use logic and reasoning more (they are right-brain thinkers, as opposed to left-brain - artistic and emotional- thinking) and deductive reasoning, which would be of use in any of the four sciences presented here.Another point is that learning music will increase a person's math aptitude and overall intelligence.


What does math have to do with physics and chemistry?

Mathematics is the language of science and engineering. It is almost impossible to study science of any branch without the use and study of math.


Does physics chemistry and engineering use mathematics at all?

Apparently, you haven't had much exposure to Physics, Chemistry, or Engineering, have you. Yes, they all do. In increasing order of mathematical intensity, they are Chemistry Engineering Physics


Can you learn math through physics?

No, but you can use physics to show students practical applications to the math that they are learning


What does a firearms examiner study?

Besides firearms, they study law, metals, machining, use of laboratory equipment, math, geometry, physics, chemistry, English (they write reports) and use of computers.


Is it true that if you're good at math but a bad programmer you will fail physics chemistry and engineering?

No, it is not true. First, do not simply accept that you cannot be good at programming. Being good at mathematics - not just arithmetic - shows that you can process information logically. That is what programs do and so you should be OK if you try. Second, physics, chemistry and engineering do not always require you to write programs but to use them. More and more, these subjects are becoming multidisciplinary because they are becoming too broad for a single person to master.


Does chemistry use math or not really?

Of course it does!
