How is maths used in science?

Answer 1

If an investigator said that mathematics is the backbone of physics, there would arise little argument. Physics is the study of matter and motion. (Energy, too.) That's a broad statement, but physics is a broad area. And mathematics is used in most all corners of it. When we apply scientific method to the physical world, we qualify or define things, then we quantify or measure them. The measurement of things in physics involves mathematics, and when we begin to make calculations regarding the interaction of things in nature, we grab our mathematics toolbox and go to town. Whether it's calculating the velocity of a falling body under the influence of gravity or plotting the course of an object in orbit about a heavenly body, we're always using mathematics to discover what we need to know. There are countless examples that can be put up that illustrate the point. Instead of running on, let's post some links to things to look at and you'll see some of the ways mathematics is used in physics. Use the links to Wikipedia and just scroll down through the posts rather than try to read them. The use of mathematics jumps off the page as you scan. You can't miss it.

Answer 2

Formulas
Math is useful in science because you might want to make a graph, or you might have to measure things, or add amounts, and so much more. Math is really useful if you are a scientist.

Answer 3

in chemistry advanced maths is used for the derivations of equations such as those of kinetics and thermodynamics

Answer 4

It is there for counting the degrees and numbers to the answer
