Career question for organic chemists

[AminoAcid]

This is for organic chemists who are involved in drug design/discovery, medicinal chemistry, or molecular design/synthesis:

How much, if any, physics and maths did you study concurrently with the chemistry in your bachelor's degree? Is it a case of the more the better, or does physics and math get to a point (say 2nd year or something) where it diverges in helpfulness towards the aforementioned study areas?

What sort of areas in physics and maths did you find helped most towards proficiency in these study/research areas?

Reason I ask is that my maths skills are OK, but not excellent, and I didn't do any physics at school, so am wondering what I can and can't get away with.

Thank-Yo :D

I was first a chemistry major, but then I changed my main subject and now have M.Sc. in physics.

Almost all organic chemists I know try to avoid anything math related and often don't even remember how basic derivatives or integrals are calculated.

Once I heard an O-chem professor claim that because 1% of all carbon atoms are of 13C isotope, then in a molecule of 100 carbon atoms theres a 100% probability of having at least one 13C atom, LOL... (the actual probability is 100% x (1 - (0.99)¹⁰⁰) = 63.4% )
