why mathemathics is a part of science? Especially Chemistry?

Math is a part of science in the same way that heat is a part of cooking.
It's a tool that is absolutely essential to make science work.

There are mathematicians who like mathematics
for the beauty of mathematical calculations bringing to art.
The connection with reality does not interest them very much.
======================
One mathematician came to give a lecture. There is nobody in the classroom, but he has a plan and he begins his monologue. Becoming enthusiastic he suddenly notices two students in the room. He continues the lecture joyfully and after some time he notices that three of them are going away.
"Here it is,- mathematician thinks sadly,- now one more student will come and nobody will be here again".
=======================
It seems, that calculation has been done correctly, but being turned from the concreteness, it evokes a smile.
That is the price of mathematical abstract logic for the break with the reality.
A lot of mathematical models that are leaned on the numerical knowledge of the world,
look in such way.

Mathematics itself is actually a discipline, not a science. But without a firm understanding of mathematics, you would be unable to do most science effectively. It is only through mathematics that we can truly understand the world around us, and know anything about it. That is why it is such an important part of science.

This is actually a very good question. Maths is more an exercise in logic and does not fall into the more usual science study of perterbing a system, measuring the results and postulating a theory.
However, maths is ubiquitous, science could not be performed without maths.
Finally, maths is beautiful, as beautiful as any butterfly, flower, perfume, etc, etc

What have you got against math and chemistry??? I mean, apart from it being boring, I guess. Science is simply the organized search for knowledge. You think that's not possible in chemistry?

Mathematics is not only a part of science but it is the base of other science . without mathematics we do not realize physics, mechanics,thermodynamic, etc .

Systematic approach to any subject is science. that is why we have social science.
Malso math is the way to express anything systematically. So its the language of most science subject.

Math is a way of explaining things. How could you grasp the concept of molarity without mathematics?

Otherwise how would you calculate-especially in chemisty where numbers are very important-say for example when you have to balance equations or calculate energy kinetics

because according to my physics teacher "math is the international language of science"
