Does being good at math help you with science and engineering?

Answer 1

People who are good at math / enjoy math will TEND to do well in physics / computer science / engineering.. obviously. Physics / Comp Sci / engineering HEAVILY emphasize math......... however, this definitely will NOT happen for all people.

Answer 2

Yes, absolutely if you love mathematics and know all the fundamentals of mathematics it would definitely help you understand engineering science and computer programming languages better. When learning engineering science and computer programming languages to make the codes work correctly you need to know alot of mathematics skills. Alot of colleges suggest you take calc 1, calc 2, and than higher up math like linear algebra. You need to know alot of mathematic equations to make the program operate correctly and accurately.

Answer 3

Mathematical science has a real world application in almost all other sciences. For example, the mathematical application in chemistry is called stoichiometry, which would include balancing chemical reaction equations. In physical sciences, and theoretical laws and probability are completed through mathematical measurements, such as E=mc2 and C=(lambda)(nu). Engineering is based principally on physical sciences, which result from measurements and probability.

Answer 4

Maths is the language of science. Physics is the study of natural motion (speed, mass, relativity, etc), which can be described with maths. Chemistry is the study the nature of matter (molar composition, chemical equations, reactions, etc), which can also be described with a lot of maths. Engineering is more an aggregate of physics, chemistry and other scientific fields, so naturally it uses a lot of maths.

Basically, if you want to be a scientist, you can expect to have to learn a *ton* of maths. Calculus, algebra and statistics are the three major fields you'd have to learn to be a competent scientist.

Answer 5

Probably, in that case, you would also enjoy programming - but you still have to learn it separately.

Answer 6

Being good at math is probably the single skill which will help you the most, with science and engineering. Math is essential.

Answer 7

Physics and engineering can both be very deeply mathematical.

Answer 8

Obviously. You need lots of math for both.
