Algebra seems kind of fundamental to things like physics and chemistry.

Geometry is fundamental to physics and chemistry,not Algebra.Look at the thinking style,not the content.

Still E=mc2, the Schrödinger equation, the Dirac equation, Maxwell's equations... It's hard to understand the equations if you don't understand equations.

		It is easy to understand the equations if you have physical intuition of what is going on.Then derive from first principles.Memorizing formulas is the key to failing advance math.
