> "Most top chemists and biomedical researchers have little use for mathematics per se, except in terms of using statistical software or basic calculus. "
Now I never ended up working in the field, but I remember my organic chemistry Msc. being fairly math heavy. Solving the Schroedinger equation for a complex molecule or refining a stochastic simulation model involved a bit more than basic calculus. The whole course was more math than lab work.
Was this article written by someone who never took an advanced science class, or by a mathematician to whom all the math used in natural sciences is trite and simple?
