I don't think I could see people using real analysis in chemistry, but I could easily see differential equations if you go into pchem or something.
EDIT: I'm not a chem person, though.
EDIT2: Actually, same here lol. (post below)

I came in here looking for asian girls. I was lied to. That should be a bannable offense.

he just knows how teamliquid works, put Asian girls in the title and you get 10000x more hits.
You're just the same guy who clicked on Angela Jolie naked, as a link on youtube.

Roffles said he'd dance. He lied. That should be a bannable offense.
I think this really should be an issue of whether or not you -want- to take math, as opposed to whether or not you think math will "help" you. You're not going to enjoy it/do very well in higher level math classes unless you're genuinely interested in it, as opposed to getting through it as if it's another worthless liberal art requirement or something like that.

+1 internet to you sir

lol what a misleading title >.<
if u are not required to take more math, then why take it? u will be competing against other majors that are strong in math!

If you're going to have to / want to take P-chem, a good background in differential equations as well as linear algebra is super duper helpful. Try to take a higher level linear algebra class as it's more relevant to the math you'll be doing in your chem classes - the basic linear algebra stuff is kind of auxiliary. If you see the word "eigen-" in the course description a lot, chances are its a good class to take.

tbh with you i only opened this because of the asian girls
go ask classmates yo xP they'll probably know more about the system.

"Asian Girls and..."
>:D
"Asian Girls and Chemistry and Math"
:'<
"I lied about asian girls."
>:T

Warn for misleading title?

I WILL SAVE YOU OP!!

LOL MONA
unless this is phil
that would still be pretty funny =)

I'm another of the "not a chem person" people chiming in. I'm actually in physics, but theres some overlap, and having taken much more math I thought I would throw in my 2 cents. Basically, partial differential equations is an absolute requirement to do anything with quantum mechanics. i.e. solving the hydrogen atom via the schrodinger equations, statistical mechanics/thermodynamics in self assembly. That said, you don't need a serious background in it for most applications and can get by with reading a book or two on your own and learning some software packages that can numerically approximate things. I certainly don't see how real/complex analysis would help you, but linear algebra can always be useful too. If you have the spare time, don't underestimate how much you can learn by just flipping through a book yourself though.

what I heard was that if you have a deep math background you can teach yourself much more easily alot about concepts in physics/math that are necessary for your field

fair enough, but idk. i feel like i might benefit from the structure of math courses. and im thinking about shooting for the math minor at my school. math for me has had its times of being pretty fun and cool but also been kinda something i just went through to get through it other times

This.
Except you already asked me and I said do what you want.

Also I'm minoring in chemistry, and the only two math classes I'm required to take at my school are differential and integral calculus. I think that's all you need to understand stuff like how to solve for the Schroedinger Wave Equation.
