Pure Mathematics Track Pure Mathematics Track Mathematics majors often consider an advanced degree in pure mathematics.
Graduate study can lead to a variety of career opportunities.
For example, research mathematicians and computer scientists are employed in research centers, industry, and government agencies to work on both new and long-standing math problems. Interdisciplinary groups of scientists often include mathematicians and computer scientists who use their skills to address complex problems that contain various types of mathematical challenges. Others with graduate degrees become professors who teach and supervise undergraduate or graduate students along with other professional involvements. The ability to apply and communicate mathematical ideas is an essential skill for the pure mathematician. Students are expected to develop the mental disciplines of logic, clarity, and precision characterizing mathematical expression and the ability of formulating and solving problems during their undergraduate studies.
