What can
I do with a major in Math?
Actuary
An actuary works in the insurance industry on problems associated with
insurance rates. The profession is closely regulated, and advancement
through the actuarial ranks is achieved by passing a series of tests
administered by the Society of Actuaries. The first five tests measure
knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, statistics, numerical analysis,
and operations research. Resource: Society of Actuaries.
Applied Mathematician
In industry mathematicians work with specialists from different
disciplines to solve complex problems that are too broad in scope for
engineers to tackle alone. To prepare for a possible career in applied
mathematics outside of academia, build your program around the skills
that employers need: breadth and depth in mathematics, computational
skills, knowledge of a relevant area outside of mathematics, and
problem-solving ability. Resources: Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics.
Pure Mathematician
Pure mathematicians work on abstract problems independent of any
practical applications – they create new mathematics, build new
mathematical structures, and unravel new mathematical patterns. Because
it grows out of internal motivations to create, this aspect of
mathematics is often likened to art. However, mathematical research
developed without reference to real-world problems often ends up being
extremely useful in practical situations. Pure mathematicians find
employment at universities, government agencies such as the National
Security Agency, or companies such as Bell Labs. Resource: American Mathematical Society
