what does math got to do with science?

It has everything to do with science.  There is a mathematical explanation for many things in science.  You can't really separate one from the other.

science is just as important as the other subjects.  \n\nWithout knowledge in science, you wouldn't understand a lot of things about the world.

Yes! Big difference. Arithmetic has to do with simple operations of only numbers involving +, -, /, and x. (adding, subtracting, dividing, and multiplying). Mathematics encompasses EVERY kind of math, from arithmetic to calculus to linear algebra to the stuff they used for the physics to build the atomic bomb.

"Math is the language of science." \n\nI've heard the above quote a number of times, especially since starting to provide my own answers/responses here. I think what that might mean is that science speaks to us in terms of mathematical equations and concepts, and it's left to us to learn to decipher all that stuff by "inventing" ways to represent our "discoveries" of the inherent patterns of things.\n\nIn other words, we look at things in a logical fashion to find reasons for what happens/happened, and we use some sort of notation to present these ideas. We invent ways to show/present what we discovered. So math is both, in a way: the concepts, patterns, etc. are the discoveries, and the variables, terms, etc. are the visual representations we invented. The use of 'x' as a variable wasn't just there - we had to decide to use it in that fashion. However, the abstract concept of a variable was always "there."

Yes.  Science is a belief that there are cause and effects that can be studied in a certain way, such that we may learn the underlying ways in which the physical universe operates.  It does have its limitations, however, and has limited applications in the really important areas of spiritual growth and awareness.  It is also limited in the fact that it requires and observer, and the observer influences the scientific findings, invariably.

Sometmes when you see the actual application of mathematics things start to make more sense. Mathematics is the heart of engineering. If you like engineering and have love for it then you will then work hard to adore mathematics. ANd if you start to adore mathematics you are going to be a great engineer. \n\nAbout english ... read the news daily.....look up in dictionary if you don't understand. speak often.

well look at it this way, math is the language of alot of sciences...its how we describe the world around us.  I would say most definetly, once you understand the rules and (more importantly but the harder of teh two)how to ready teh symbols and notations one could speak the mathematical language.  One big problem is that there are limited people who can understand high level mathematics and oen doesnt get a full grasp of math till they are say a Graduate Student in college.

It really does depend on the person.  Math deals more with numbers, while biology deals more with the study of life and anatomy.  In my case, I like both equally.  In general, though, especially as you get into the higher levels of math, I think people start to like biology more because they can't visualize and solve math problems.

Math has always been my favorite subject but I do thick Chemistry is gay. The concept of one being gay is what I don't unserstand.

The universe and all it entails is all brought about by mathematical principles. You can integrate math with virtually any subject. Examples? Here are a few.\nHome economics- Doubling fractions in recipes.\nPhysics- Loaded with math. Use mathematics to prove the laws.\nLanguage and/or Reading- To stimulate comprehension, have students figure out how many of a list of required books they enjoyed by percentage, write a paper on books they have read and maybe even figure out the probabability of the next book to be added to the list using laws of probability. You need, of course to have the difficulty in reading and math to match the other and also the age and ability of the students.\nSocial Studies- Have students figure out percentages of cultures using the english language, per capita population statistics, and probability to estimate growth, or how many different types of money is used in the world, etc.\nWriting- Have students write an essay using words instead of numbers to figure out a determinant (presuming they understand the concept, of course) or stating how to determine percentages or to write out certain laws of mathematics in paragraph form. Written proofs can also be used to demonstrate inductive or deductive reasoning.\nHope the examples help.

The "point" of geomtery -- that's actually a great pun.  But never mind that now. :)\n\nThe purpose of just about all math is *deduction*: using the information you're given (what you know) to *deduce* something new (what you didn't know).  In algebra, for instance, we represent a situation (what we know) with an equation, then solve that equation for the "unknown" quantity, the variable (what we didn't know).\n\nThe point of geometry is that it's the first step in learning to apply math deduction to real-world measurable objects.  We start by learning things like how to calculate perimeter, area, volume, and surface area.  We then move on to further deductions in the form of "proofs," where we might prove that two angles of an object are the same based on other information about the object.  That continues as you move beyond geometry into topics like trigonometry, analytic geometery, and calculus, but a simple situation might be to determine the height of a building by comparing the length of its shadow to the shadow from another object whose height you can measure, and using the notion of "similar triangles" to deduce the answer.\n\nHope that helps.

The numbers 1, 2, etc are just symbols we give to a identify a quantity.  As for mathematical equations these have been calculated in order to work something out, and then tested repeatedly.  The rules are determined when, using the equation, the answer is always the same and/or predictable.  This is what all scientific theories are.  They are ways of measuring things, which are verifiable.  They have no 'reality' outside our minds, because they are used to measure the world as we perceive it, but they do help us to make sense of the reality that we perceive.

how does this fit into mathematics?

I loved science. Not the kind that involved any math, but doing experiments and learning about how the world works is very interesting to me. I had a lot of questions when I was young, and still do. Science helped answer so many of them. (And you get to see things blow up!)

Math is used all the time in the engineering sciences.  Many physical phenomena, including fluid flow, heat transport, and diffusion can be described by appropriate partial differential equations.  In order to solve these equations and make predictions, you need to be good at calculus.\n\nIf you limit yourself to addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, you would be stuck with linear models for everything.  This means that any more complicated relationship between two variables could not be modeled continuously, and you would never be able to extrapolate with any confidence.  Thus development of new technology would be strictly trial and error (and you wouldn't even have a good trial and error system without statistics).\n\nHang in there!  Get through that math.  You don't have to like it, but you will inevitably appreciate the developments that math has enabled.
