1)do you need maths to study chemistry at uni?

2)if you study chemistry at uni is there hope of dentistry<br />3)if you have a degree in chemistry and want to do a career in forensics ad ou apply for the job will the other person with the specific degree get the job nd not you<br />4)is there a degree that combines chemistry and biology (what is biochemisty)<br />5)is it more expenisve to study chemistry +Biology ,then when you definately know what career you want to pursue....majoring in that <br /><br />thank you :)<br />

You probably dont need math, but you'll fail miserably without it.

On the other questions, it's probably best to phone your university, and find out, because unless there is a university professor reading this your chances of getting a proper answer is 0.

1.Yes. Math is used extensively in Chemistry to measure and predict outcomes.
2. You must study chemistry as part of your undergraduate work to become a dentist.
3. Most jobs depend on a combination of experience and education.
4.Bio Chemistry.
5. Most medical fields require both chemistry and biology.

1.DEFINITELY. sometimes you need more maths then physics or anything, make sure you study as much of it as possible, else... yes, youd fail miserably
2.As far as i know here in Europe you need to go to special university to bea dentist, where you mostly learn what other doctors learn, with chemistry you cant be a dentist.
3.Dont know.
4.Definitely there is. You can start at biochemistry at first, this means youd take biochemistry starting from your second year of uni, or you can choose it for masters degree as well. as te current picture shows there is a high chance youd get a good job being a biochemist. Biochemistry is that part of organic chemistry that explains what happens in the living bodies, and deals with the organic compounds that are made by living things. I advise you first to study at leats one year of pure organic chemistry and then decide, biochemistry can be extremely beautiful and useful, but its one of the hardest to study and work in it as well.
5.I dont think it would be any more expensive, but once more, first study organical chemistry, and only then make up your mind. If you want to go rather on biology track then soem microbiology would help a lot.
good luck

1)do you need maths to study chemistry at uni?

i'm a chemistry student. so far, chemistry and math are complementary..yeah..u need to have basic in math to study chemistry.but dun worry.no complicated math in chemistry=)
if u wanna be a dentist, u should take dentistry couse.that's what i think.
mmm...u have to ask sumone in the forensic field.but i think chemistry students still have a big chnce to be chosen.
biochemistry of course. the chemical compound in biological things. exmp: carbohydrate ect..[i think u should ask biochemistry students=)]
in my university, i think that chemistry and biochemistry students actually paid nearly the same amount of fees.u need to ask the university.the fees are different among university.
for me, u have to determine ur strength and ability.not only what u wanna b or what people expect u to b.since high school may be.u need to plan.if you already taken chemistry for example, take a look on your results.which part do u love more?then go into it!
that all..only my opinion!hope that will help!=)

1)do you need maths to study chemistry at uni?

1) typically 3 semesters of calculus, 1 semester of stats, 1 semester of differential equations, and 1 semester of linear algebra is required for a BS in chemistry. (in the US) Higher level physics classes are typically part of the curriculum, since you need to be familiar with quantum mechanics. Some chemistry classes are completely math based ie physical chemistry, and some involve almost no math at all ie organic chemistry.

2) YES

3) YES

4)Biochemistry is the study of the chemistry of life. Biochemistry degrees are similiar to a chemistry degree but require a lot of molecular biology classes. ie genetics physiology ect.

5) They cost the same, for biochemistry degree you will take slighlty less math and slightly more biology than a chemistry degree.

1.) Math is needed because chemistry involve calculations...manipulation of variables and equations are very much needed...calculus also help.
2.) I think it is not that related...
3.) Merits and specifications are important but if you have subjects taken that are related to the job there's also a high you'll get the job...
4.) Yeah, biochemistry specifically but it mostly involves amino acids or proteins...
5.)Biology is expensive, chemistry is more expensive...so it's probably also expensive to do so...

1)do you need maths to study chemistry at uni?

1. YES. Theoretically you might be able to cope if you specialise in organic chemistry and never come into contact with physical, inorganic or analytical chemistry but I doubt it.
2. Not really, I'd try to get straight onto a dentistry course if I were you.
3. Probably.
4. Yes. There are quite a few multiple subject courses like that.
5. Shouldn't be but if you study a single subject you are likely to reach a higher standard and that might make a difference when job hunting.
