Some people become professors of mathematics, researchers in pure mathematics or use math as a tool in a related professional or technical field. There are four majors in the mathematics area. These abilities are useful in almost every career, and provide a strong background for further study in mathematics, or other areas such as engineering, economics, and law. Applied Mathematicians are problem solvers, who apply mathematics to solve real-world problems. The Mathematics Teaching major provides the content and pedagogy needed to start a successful career as a secondary mathematics teacher.
Students gain the deeper understanding that is critical for guiding the learning of mathematics.
