Mathematics Careers and Occupations
Mathematics careers abound in science and industry, finance and economics, and even in sports and entertainment. Mathematics is a fundamental tool for weather forecasting, industrial quality control, computer network traffic analysis (and automotive traffic analysis, as well), marketing, insurance, opinion polling, virtually every field of science (such as chemistry, archeology, astronomy, medical research, and geology), animation and special effects, communications, and logistics. In addition, the study of mathematics prepares the mind to excel in many occupations not directly related to mathematics. Studying mathematics trains the mind to approach problems logically, and to prepare concise and thorough arguments to support decisions.
