Best Answer

Modern chemistry or the study of chemistry may be meaningless without math. To work in chemistry today, it is necessary to know exact amounts and combinations, and be able to report those to scientists and to have your results used by people beyond yourself.

But chemistry is not meaningless without math. Ancient civilizations or modern 'primitive' civilizations, and even your great grandma used chemistry without the benefit of math by understanding the properties of things around them, how to combine them, how to use them for their effect and producing results. My mom and my grandma would cook and bake without measuring. Native populations devised medicines, paints, Metallurgy, leather treatments, etc. without math. There are still plenty of people who know these things and use them.

Math is only necessary for chemistry in a professional world.

What is the Relationship between math and science engineering and technology?

Science is nothing without math.. Physics and chemistry are related so far with science.. If there was no math science wouldn't exist, you couldn't calculate the problems in physics and chemistry without mathematics


Is chemistry based on mathematics or not so much?

Chemisrty isn't based on math, but it certainly wouldn't be possible without math.


How is maths related with chemistry?

When it comes to the physical sciences like chemistry and physics, math is the "language" of chemistry and physics. You won't need any advanced math in high school or general chemistry, but go into the upper division courses in college and you utilize a lot of calculus. You simply can't do chemistry without math. All physical sciences and math require very similar ways of thinking as well.


How can one be good at math but bad at chemistry?

Chemistry isn't entirely math. The math in chemistry isn't very complicated, it's just understand how to apply the math AND understand some of the key concepts.


What is the atomicity?

An atom is the smallest particle something can be broken up into without it turning into a different element.


Is it true that if you are good at math and economics you will fail physics chemistry and engineering?

I'm good at Math and I passed Chemistry.


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 being good at mathematics help you with classes like chemistry physics and engineering?

Yes. Math is a fundamental tool in chemistry, physics, and engineering in the same way that being able to read is a fundamental tool in historical analysis. You cannot be good at chemistry, physics, or engineering without a firm grasp of math.


Can you do chemistry if you're good at math or is that an urban legend?

You can do Chemistry if you're interested in Chemistry and want to learn something about it. Math has nothing to do with it, one way or the other.


Can you do chemistry if you're good at math or is that a myth?

You can do Chemistry if you're interested in Chemistry and want to learn something about it. There's no connection between it and math, in either direction.


Do you agree Political democracy is meaningless without economic democracy?

yes, it is meaningless


Is it true that physics and chemistry do not use math?

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.
