A: FROM MENTOR MOLLY WILLIAMS
IN MI
A chemistry major, like all of the sciences, will require
some
college level mathematics after you enroll in a college or
university. In college you will need at least two semesters
of
calculus, and possibly another two or three courses covering
linear
algebra, differential equations, and statistics. So, in high
school, you should take as much pre-college mathematics as
you can.
This should include geometry, trigonometry, algebra, and (if
they're
available) statistics and pre-calculus. Believe it or not,
all
these courses will be relevant to chemistry, as you learn
what the
shapes of molecules are and how they interact with each other.

A:FROM MENTOR SARAH IN VT
You should definitely take at least Algebra 2, and probably
higher courses too, but whatever fits your needs.

You should take math courses including at least Algebra 2
and
continue to pre-calculus and calculus if available at yur
high
school. Math is necessary in any course of study in science
and
engineering.
Good luck.
