    An investigation into the effects of mathematics on achievement in chemistry
    (1980) Harvey, Claude Winston;
    This study attempted to investigate the role of mathematics on achievement in chemistry at A'Level. Data were gathered from a sample of 85 Upper Sixth Form students from government and grant-aided schools in Jamaica. Of these students, 39 were doing A'Level chemistry and A'Level mathematics, and 46 were doing chemistry but not mathematics. The results of the data analysis indicated that the most important predictor of success in A'Level chemistry was performance in O'Level chemistry. However, it is suggested that mathematical skills contributed to some extent
