Chemistry isnt too math heavy, but its there.  Of course math difficulty is highly relative.

Most of the chemists I work with had to take two semesters of calculus.  Some schools require more, with some vector calculus, differential equations and linear algebra - this is basically what engineers and physicists have to take for their B.S.

So you certainly need more than adding and subtracting.  The bare minimum would be calculus, but to be good you will need differential equations and linear algebra.  Depends alot on what type of chemistry you do too.  The o-chem people are math noobs while the p-chem people are very mathematical.

Yeah that pretty much killed it for me. I want to find a field that I can study at a university that doesnt require advanced mathematics. Not sure what though.
