For about a million reasons. For chemistry, if you can't do math you can't balance an equation, calculate how much of something with react with something else, in fact , you can't even properly describe the physical properties of something without math, not even what color something is because color is based on wavelengths of light. Also, physics is heavily based on calculus and quantum chemistry is based on physics. At my school the undergrad students aren't even allowed to take P-chemistry or physics without taking a year of calculus first.

Everything in science has to be measurable to be quantified. Once quantified, observations are verifiable by anyone anywhere and their relationships determinable. It is in the deducing of these relationships that the skills and procedures of mathematics in used to express these relationships in a mathematical formula that can be calculated to yield a descriptive quantity. Thus, through mathematics, we describe our universe in terms that are the same for anyone anywhere.

Mathematics are used to describe things. It is not the actual thing. It is an arbitrarily accepted group of information used for descriptions. It only represents reality it is not reality. So in describing things especially where accuracy is required in reproducing exacting chemical reactions it is important to understand the math and communicate the information well.

Science deals with facts, and almost any fact can be reduced to a mathematical expression. Many of the concepts that lead to scientific discoveries either spring from mathematical ideas, or lead to new branches of mathematics to explain them. For example, Newton understood that an object's velocity and acceleration were related, but to explain that in simple terms, he had to invent a whole new branch of mathematics, the calculus. And how could Einstein explain the relationship between matter and energy without the famous equation, e=Mc^2?

Because the only way to examine things is to compare them to other things. mathematics was develped to create a method of comparison that people can understand more quickly and easily by understanding it's fundamentals.

Because a great number of things can be modeled on a computer using math.

every science tends to ====> Mathematics
which is the purest science.
