If you do well in math, you probably will do better in the disciplines that use math. Physics and chemistry use mathematics in order to quantify their observations about the world. Most mathematics were invented by scientists who needed the math to quantify their work. Both use math; especially physics requires a lot of advanced math, at least at the more advanced levels. Modern chemistry or the study of chemistry may be meaningless without math.
To work in chemistry today, it is necessary to know exact amounts and combinations, and be able to report those to scientists and to have your results used by people beyond yourself. But chemistry is not meaningless without math. Ancient civilizations or modern 'primitive' civilizations, and even your great grandma used chemistry without the benefit of math by understanding the properties of things around them, how to combine them, how to use them for their effect and producing results.
My mom and my grandma would cook and bake without measuring. Native populations devised medicines, paints, metallurgy, leather treatments, etc. There are still plenty of people who know these things and use them. Math is only necessary for chemistry in a professional world. Chemistry is a science and mathematics is the language of science. Atomicity is known as Chemistry.
Chemistry is used in math. They use Algebra and Geometry. Math, Biology, Chemistry, Law. Log in. Math and Arithmetic. Study now. See Answer. Best Answer.
Study guides. Algebra 20 cards. A polynomial of degree zero is a constant term. The grouping method of factoring can still be used when only some of the terms share a common factor A True B False. The sum or difference of p and q is the of the x-term in the trinomial. A number a power of a variable or a product of the two is a monomial while a polynomial is the of monomials.

Sorry physics, but it seems to me that your particle accelerators are gluttonously huge scientifically unnecessary and totally useless particle-crunchers, functionally comparable to fastest-known super-computer designs for discovering new large prime numbers.
I wonder if physicists are actually the heaviest consumers of funding that would otherwise be available to support mathematicians, who are obviously the lightest consumers of research funding and also the most productive of new discoveries. Mathematicians can actually tell the difference between an arbitrary mathematical information computational process, and an orgy of man-boy physicists playing with their tiny balls in a spaceship-submarine with a warp-core that could give anyone an involuntary geek-gasm easily shrinking physics to the size of sex.
Thanks for the joke, any offense taken it was not my intention to return. I just felt the need to point out that, although I agree that physics is a respectable second-best, sexy is a long way from first. Nafindix Random side note: One could argue that mathematics is applied philosophy if we take philosophy as a way to create an understanding of the world , and that philosophy as a product of human societies is applied sociology.
It's a weak argument, but the circular-ness is appealing. Randall, are you messing with me? Knechod talk , 31 August UTC. First, the terminology: cold science is an observation described with math, that can give stable objective meaning they could be potentially disproved by an experiment predictions in a certain range of conditions.
Philosophy is an interpretation of science. Math is purely artificial and doesn't require translation, it is pretty much the only abstract symbol system we have now that follows the principle of objectivity, and any solid generalization model requires abstraction by definition.
A natural language can't do that because it's subjective, and it's philosophy that is about subjective terms, what do they mean and how do they relate to objectivity and perceived reality. Gather 5 quantum physicists and show them an equation - they will nod agreeably, but ask them to explain it - and they will fight eventually.
So in that terms the relationship between sciences can be seen as an example of what's called emergence [1] , and this concept quite well exists inside any particular science, i. The same applies to all other sciences - they just describe different systems of different scales, and most borders become very smeared nowadays, with things like molecular biology, quantum electrodynamics which is essentially a whole new branch of math , chemical kinetics, ethology and many other continuously evolving cross-disciplinary branches of science.
So there's no contradiction here, sciences are different in many aspects but yet they all are reflections of a global pattern, and thus should operate on the same conceptual field. And in this case the contextual field is maths itself. In the end even our subjective descriptions of reality could and probably would be represented as a set of math equations, because our brains are nothing more than big calculators, and our language is nothing more than a system of symbols, represented with geometrical shapes and sound waves, and the same mathematical patterns are repeated all over the different aspects of those.
All is one, just like our universe itself. Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb. Jump to: navigation , search. Explanation [ edit ] Mathematics is the abstract study of topics encompassing quantity, structure, space, change, and others. Transcript [ edit ] [Six characters are standing on a line with small ticks under each person.
Above the two persons most central in the comic is an arrow pointing right. There are labels both above and below the arrow. Beneath each tick is a label.
All the labels are listed here in order. The last person to the right is the mathematician. She stands at the far right edge of the comic, with much farther distance between her and the second to last person going right. The first four spaces between the first five people are of equal distance. Except for the least pure sociologist, they all say something addressed to the less pure person s on their left. The first mute person above the Sociologists tick is Megan.
The second person above the Psychologists tick is a bald man with glasses and a goatee beard holding a book under one arm. The third person above the Biologists tick is a Cueball-like guy with a squirming octopus in his hand. The fourth person above the Chemists tick is Ponytail holding up a test tube with bubbles coming out of the top. The fifth person above the Physicists tick is Cueball standing with his hands in his sides. Farthest out, the sixth and final person above the Mathematicians tick is Blondie.
She waves to the other five. Biologist: Psychology is just applied biology. Chemist: Biology is just applied chemistry Physicist: Which is just applied physics. It's nice to be on top. Mathematician: Oh, hey, I didn't see you guys all the way over there. Trivia [ edit ] Blondie appearing as the mathematician could mean she is supposed to represent Miss Lenhart , but since Lenhart is defined as a teacher, which she can not clearly be said to be here, it is uncertain.
Later a similar setup was used in Internal Monologues , although here the different science fields are not ranked against each other, and only the physicist is represented in both comics although as Cueball in both. This comic is available as a signed print in the xkcd store.
Quote: But this hierarchy does not imply that science X is "just applied Y. Allenz talk , 7 August UTC This one resonated around the Internet quite a bit more than average, and deservedly so. A linguist researches all the little details in a language that a normal person merely uses in his everyday life without giving the language itself much thought. Jetman talk , 10 March UTC I'm still not happy with the title text explain: The explain implies that masturbation "is all just in your head" and not "involves interactions with real objects".
My last edit on this wasn't perfect as well, so it still needs an enhancement. And this is surely exaggerated by Randall because physics couldn't exist without mathematics — those faculties just joking about each other.
