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.

Physics is applied maths and chemistry is applied physics which means that you take the base ideas or structure (fundamentals) and use those ideas to do something else.

The way that physics is applied maths is that you can take numbers and arrange them to explain the laws of the universe.

then the laws of of the universe can be applied to matter e.g. atoms and particles, this is what you call chemistry.

If you go further, then you can say that Biology is applied chemistry. The particles and atoms in a structure combined can create life and organisms.

Knowledge of mathematics is indispensable for all sciences; for chemistry think to physical chemistry, crystallography, data processing, chemical informatics, quantum chemistry, etc.
