Then you should check out some of the links below, which give information on mathematical careers. Students with undergraduate degrees in mathematics often find it easy and natural to continue their studies at the graduate level in other disciplines. Engineering, computer science, business, operations research, medicine, and law are just some of the possibilities. They are generally higher than those for graduates with degrees in the sciences. In recent publications directed toward college students, many dozens of large corporations, research laboratories, and government agencies have advertised their interest in hiring mathematics graduates.
Mathematics graduates work for government, business, and industry.
Aerospace, computing, communications, pharmaceutical, consulting, and defense are just some of the possibilities. More information about career opportunities for mathematics majors can be found on the World Wide Web. Mathematics Careers Bulletin Board and Career Planning Resources from AMS, MAA, and SIAM Mathematical Fields and Application Lists provided by applied mathematicians working in industry and government Mathematics that Counts from SIAM, featuring applied and computational mathematics research that have led to increased productivity, improvements in product design, solutions to problems related to health and the environment, etc. This page was last changed on March 15, 1998.
