Physics. But there are plenty of sub-disciplines in chemistry and biology that are math intensive.

It's all relative since they're mathematical subset structures of the truths and falsehoods of logic

Nowadays Physics but in a perfect world where chemists and biologists are actual academics then I think those fields would be closer to mathematics.

Physicists study relatively simple structures. Sure, stars have many complications but it all comes down to a blob of a bunch hydrogen atoms together.

Chemists, on the other hand study smaller objects that have much more complications. The same goes for biologists. Nothing has more complications than organisms. So the day these scientists grow a couple of extra IQ points and start to find a way to use mathematical structures to model the real life structure they study then we will see that biologists could even need a PhD in mathematics just to study biology well.

Physics has already done so. The study of higher physics is full of algebraic and geometric structures that they use for almost everything. The other sciences simply have to follow these steps but this will require intelligence.

I do not think that biologists are still smart enough to comprehend something as complex as, say, derivatives. That would go over their heads. What we need to do is slowly put inside their curriculums more and more math until one day one of them comes up with a discovery and starts modelling the processes of certain organisms with geometric and algebraic structures and then from that point on biology will not be the same. It will enter a golden age like physics did in the 20th century and from that point on every single biology program will have as a pre-requisite a PhD in pure mathematics.
