In lots of ways!

Math can be used to describe physical things, like how a ball moves through the air, how likely a ligand is to activate a receptor and how likely reactions between two chemicals are. These can be described using equations, and then these equations can be used to extrapolate the results of some actions under different conditions.

Maths is also very important in interpreting results. Statistics are used to determine how much of an effect something has. For instance, huntingtin's disease is heritable and 100% genetic, so its easy to understand and predict. HOWEVER diseases like arthiritis and coeliac disease have lower twins concordance and so can be judged to be partially genetic but must have an environmental factor.

So yes, maths is essential for Physics, Chemistry and Biology in many ways!

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
