Are careers out there for mathematics? I was wondering to have masters in mathematics

+Connor Gaughan Or maybe undefined oportunity?

100% truth

Gotcha

@Connor Gaughan its undefined lol

Hence, The Math Professor!

I have been a hiring manager and I can tell you for sure that I was looking for math and physics degrees first, then engineering and finally, if nothing else was available, computer science degrees.

@@anthonymendoza931 I guess it depends on what part of the country you're in too. I'm in a partially rural area and I think they have less need for those credentials here.

@@anthonymendoza931 Why in that order?

@@anthonymendoza931 why do you do that?

@@DarioLProductions Probably ranked degrees in terms of difficulty. Strong reasoning and analytical skills are corollary to having completed a hard degree.

Nauman Ashraf Yes you should.

Yes

What did you do?

anomalies*...

you can hang it up on your wall to impress your friends.

I was an adventurer like you until...

@@davibrito3561 until?

For all "real-world" subjects, mathematics is a means to an end, not the end itself. As a mathematician you spend your life proving theorems so that engineers and scientists and economists can use them. Instead of being the queen of the sciences I would call it the slave of the sciences.

+Plysomack . Status update?

+MrSupernova111 I work for three construction companies. They're all owned by the same person, but each one serves a different function. One is a contractor that does insurance restoration, as well as retail work. The second company is a subcontracting services company that services over 30 contractors (including the first company listed). The third company is a retailer for pre-fab steel building structures. On any given day, I'm the production assistant, getting specs for jobs, giving estimates, data entry, ordering materials, managing projects, marketing for new business with other contractors, and fixing almost all IT issues in-house. I also edit any important documents that need to be sent out to customers, contractors, lawyers, advertisers, et cetera... I do more, but I don't want to spend any more time on this. I have work to do!

Plysomack . Sounds like you are doing well. Maybe not what you may have envisioned but you are learning how to run a business within a certain industry. Could be very profitable long term. Good luck to you!

You're right. It is not what I thought I'd be doing, but it definitely is a great opportunity. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I wish you and everyone watching this video great success.

Cryptography is high in demand, It's usually good to have a minor in Computer Science with it

Math is definitely more broad, so consider physics only if you reaaally want to learn more about physics. In academia/research you will be able to implement math in many areas (computer science, AI, telecomunications etc). If you are interested in actual jobs, both math and physics are not the best degrees but it comes down to your profile. I would consider picking most elective courses in applied math,statistics, engineering, computer science etc combined with self-study and self-projects to showcase in your CV

You can do a lot of high level Physics modules in a Mathematics degree but you may not have the chance to do high level Pure Mathematics modules in a Physics degree. That is the difference. If you love Maths but want a little Physics too, I would go for a Maths degree. Also make sure to check the modules your University covers of course.

What did you choose?

good luck

did you?

what happened?

they can ?

Of course Caltech is good. It's Caltech!

Computer science ..

Khan Academy my guy (joke)

Alisononline Class

Sakib Abrar yes

Of course

yes and no. there are conversion mscs to software development that will bring up to speed any quantative degree(math, physics, stats, engineering etc.) holders, extremely hard bootcamp style, style 12 hours a day study style. but those are not same as advanced computer science mscs that are available to cs graduades. but since most of cs graduates go to software development anyway it's fine and you might even be seen as the go to math guy on the team.

Status update??

update

Lacking in economical use, yeah, but after working in the accounting field all day and dealing with all of those arbitrary regulations, returning to pure math feels like it cleanses my soul.

I feel bad that you have no idea what to do with it

@@_VISION. what did you do with it

what do you do for work?

I second this, it has been very useless for me. Although, I still enjoy doing math in my free time.

Incorrect. Maths basically gets you wherever you want besides Medicine.

+Apollo Weho Haha, ironically enough, many Math majors end up going to med school after getting their degree :P Also, ignore the OP, he's a 100% troll. Heck, just look at the guy's name.

+jagjit bhatia that isn't very true do to the low gap average after bachelor

Literally all of my math major friends went to med school lol

Math did get my foot in the door for an accounting job, but to stay in the field, yeah, I had to go back to school for accounting. Accounting isn't very difficult, aside from memorizing regulations, and anyone with a math major could learn to do the proper debit and credit entries, but a ton of employers specifically want people with degrees that contain the word accounting. A math degree is really only economically valuable as a supplemental x-factor in most fields.

Interest is always subjective my friend.

Yeah, but you've never had the joy of geometry or algebra... Calculus is as much math as it is physics, it's not the fun part of math or the part mathematicians are interested in anyway.

@@nickp7526 Speak for yourself! I really enjoy calculus, and a little bit of algebra. I kinda dislike geometry though, it makes less sense to me.

@@mycatis4257 calculus is just applied analysis. Idk why you like that.

@@nickp7526 I just think it's more interesting to learn about

Because some people actually understand it and find it very fun. I'd say Maths is a subject that probably has one of the highest percentage of students who chose to do it at university because they love the subject itself, rather than just because it is very profitable (dentistry, medicine, engineering, etc).

or Department of Defense.

yea right with a bachelors you are over qualified to work for buger king or any other place like that ..theyt wont hire you.. until minimum wage increases to 15.. then all theyll take is people with bachelors degrees

or a criminal.

Cx Stark no

It's not useless just u don't find the essence of ur subject . Maths can never be useless its the language of universe to find ultimate truth . U just doing maths for job then u should not do it mam . Sorry to say where we do not use maths . Even a invention of computer is based on pure mathematics. Maths goes in this way only today what u are saying useless will be spearhead of tomorrow . In AI world Mathematician are one of the most important profession or we can the most important one . Sorry I don't mean to say or hurt u but that is truth . Maths is the ultimate truth

Kanha Academy. All high flying talk. But I could not find a job with it. When you are hungry all that philosophy does nothing.

@@00tact u can get job just u need a mindset by the way algebraic topology has several of application in major technology and in medicine field. The adavnce math which u say useless will be our future technology and I can say u can easily get a job just u need a mindset . Bdw u have done a PhD in Algebraic topology u know far better than me in this field so be a researcher and do some groundbreaking works. I mean to mathematician like u are the future of this world and humankind as mathematician are the most productive professional in AI world.

Kanha Academy. It was 31 years ago. What AI and other technology was available? I use my mathematics to measure angles for installing hard wood floors. I’m very good at it.

@@00tact Why did you get a phd in that ?
