Math is used in most parts of science. Probability is used in genetics to determine what type of genes a newborn is likely to have. Algebra and geometry are used in physics. One example would be e=mc^2. This equation shows energy. It uses variables which are e, m, and c. It also has exponents. NASA uses lots of math to determine when to launch rockets, how long the rocket should be, how long should the fins be. How wide should the fins be. Science uses a lot of math. Calculus can be used to determine the perimeter of a curved object.
         Conversion is also used. 1 inch=2.54 centimeters. Did you know that the last rocket launch to mars failed because someone forgot to convert inches to centimeters, and the parachute deployed to late. Math is everywhere. I will use a parabola as an example. A parabola can be used to show a rocket and how long it takes until it will hit the ground after launch off. These are all examples of how math is used in science.
