Oscillation is a common phenomenon in physics.Sound and electromagnetic radiation (radio, light, x-rays etc propagate as sinusoidal waves which are oscillations about a mean value. Springs, pendulums (penduli?) oscillate about their rest position in simple harmonic motion, which is oscillation about the mean.

Is mathematics important in physics chemistry and engineering?
Yes.
When does time become the dependent variable ie goes on the y-axis of the graph?
When time can be considered a function of one of the other variables. An example, from physics, would be the length of a simple pendulum and its period of oscillation. Form medicine it could be treatment and time until symptoms abate.
If a pendulum takes 32 seconds to complete 20 oscillations. Calculate the time period?
Time period per oscillation=32/ 20=1.6 sec per oscillation.
Is initial-final an antonym?
The end of the birth can't have the opposite in birth of the end. These two are completely different. Example from history of architecture: "oscillation between Prague and Vienna is being born" implies a question "When the oscillation begins or when ends its birth?" The logically consequent question "Is there something which is oscillation and is not being born?" has no answer. Only it is clear that it is not birth of the end.
Why is mathematics important to scientists?
Mathematics is the language of physics, and all the sciences are branches of physics. So if we are to explain, describe, or understand anything in our universe, we must use mathematics in one form or another to come to that understanding.
