Yeah definitely, in fact chemistry is referred to a pretty 'math-sy' subject, not so much as physics but most questions will be based upon calculations of masses/concentrations etc, its all basic though, like adding/multiplying/dividing

There's quite a bit of calculus in the more advanced stuff though.

0.o there's calculus in chem? Anyways the maths part of Chem is more about understanding the concepts than being good at maths. Maths simply facilitates the concepts.

I convinced my sister to do Chemistry on the premise that minimal mathematics is involved :P That is after she refused to do any maths. :(
