Maths is not that necessary for all science based subjects, but to study some subjects such as Physics, maths is indeed the language of it. Without maths physics is lame. This is because in most of the time the equations of physics are derived and expressed in terms of mathematical equations. The equations of general relativity derived by Einstein are nothing but the result of calculations!
Math comes into many areas of science. Computer Science is a good example. Computers are based on math, and not just in the sense we can use them for doing calculations. They use logic, an area of math, and binary is essential to them and appears in so many ways that people don't realise. For example, in modern spreadsheet applications, such as Excel, there are 16,384 columns and there are 1,048,576 rows. Those both seem like fairly random numbers, but they aren't. If you start at 1 and keep multiplying by 2, you will come to 16,384 and later to 1,048,576. They are powers of 2. 16,384 is 214 and 1,048,576 is 220 and that relates back to binary. There are many other examples of numbers that are common in computers that also are 2 to the power of something.
You could go into many other areas of science and find links to math, even the natural world. So yes, math is very much the language of science, even if you don't always realise it. A good knowledge of it will help in many areas of science.

Can you do chemistry if you're good at math and economics or is that a myth?
Being proficient in basic math (algebra) is extremely helpful if not required for chemistry on a high school level. Economics aren't really that relevant, except for the fact that it too relies extensively on mathematics.
Myth of technology transfer in the third world?
There is not much technology in the third world. It is a myth that they are as wired in as first world countries.
Did Benjamin Banneker help design Washington DC?
No, that is a myth.
Did Agapito Flores really invent the fluorescent lamp?
No, Agapito Flores did not invent the fluorescent lamp but it is true that there is a very popular myth in the Philippines that he did do so! Agapito Flores was not recognised by the mainstream scientific community.

if you can't feel ESD, the surge is not sufficient to harm components.
Is math really the language of physics chemistry and engineering or is it a myth?
Math is the language of all science, even biology.
Is the horoscope myth or science fiction?
DependsWhat do you believe?My opinion is myth, because really. Would you really believe in somethingfound online or on a newspaper or something?That's just my opinion.But what ever YOU believe is the correct answer.
