Is there anything EXTREMELY siMiLar to Mathematics?

Science, esp. Chemistry and Physics. Those classes have to deal with formula and calculations. That's why it is required that you are at least in Algebra 2 in order to take Chemistry.

The most obvious answer is science, because most applications of math are in scientific fields. But I think that there is something to be said for the fact that the first mathematicians (aristotle, plato) were also the first philosophers. Mathematics and philosophy both have to do with finding the truth, while science is somewhat more geared toward applying the truth. In a way, mathematics is nothing but a more concrete realization of philosophy.

HOLY SHAZAM THE NIGH ILLITERACY IS STUPEFYING.
So is the ignancy
Mathematics is one of the base subjects, meaning that most others are built on it, science and anything having to do with the physical universe is based on mathematics, Philosophy, Social Studies, Sociology, all those things are based off the studies of Human Behavior (Social Studies).

The answer is physics, and nothing else is close.
Honorable mention goes to engineering (most of which is based on physics), economics (which uses a lot of math), quantitative business (including actuarial studies; uses statistics), certain social sciences (again, uses statistics), and other physical and life sciences (e.g., astronomy, chemistry, biology ...)
But physics uses more math than any of these others ...

Other things use more math than the above, such as
Engineering
Physics
Computer Science
I think, in the pure sense of the term, Physics is the closest.
Come to think of it, there is a huge amount of math in Chemistry.
Mechanical Engineering is 50% math, 25% computers, and 10% material studies. Don't ask what the other 15% is...

It would have to be science,especially chemistry. I REALLY CAN'T THINK OF A BRANCH OF SCIENCE THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A MATH BACKGROUND. Nearly all sciences are expressed in some form of mathematics.

Science, more specifically physics. However, something very similar to mathematics is calculus.
Spelled that wrong...I think

Science.
Mathematics is a universal language, also, so I suppose "Language" could be called similar, in theory.

Physics. Music. Logic.
