What science fields use an abundance of mathematics? |
The sciences that are “heavy users” of mathematics are the so-called physical sciences, including physics, chemistry, geology, and astronomy. These scientific fields are often contrasted with the natural or biological sciences. The physical sciences analyze the nature and properties of energy and non-living matter, and they often need the help of mathematics to determine the complex relationships between their interactions.
