Many of the calculations done by a working ChE involve Thermodynamics, Physical Chemistry and Kinetics and Catalysis. It's not just adding and subtracting by any means. A firm background in Math is required.

I suggest that you find a copy of Perry's Chemical Engineering Handbook in the library, and thumb through it. You will get an feel for some of the work done.

Mathematics is applicable on all levels in civil engineering - right through from simple arithmetic to simultaneous partial differential equations.

Structural engineering, hydraulics and geotechnical engineering are all fields that employ mathematical tools such as differential equations, tensor analysis, field theory, numerical methods and operations research.
