Description:
Mathematics and related subjects play important dual roles in our culture. On the one hand, mathematics is a study in its own right; on the other hand it is an indispensable tool for expressing and understanding ideas in the sciences, engineering, and an increasing number of other fields. Through mathematics, we model the world and abstract out the essential structure in each situation, allowing us to see similar patterns across different problems. The joy of discovering beautiful connections lies at the heart of mathematics.
What can I do with this Major?
An associates degree in Mathematics is a stepping stone to bachelor’s and higher degree in Mathematics and other related fields. Mathematics majors engage in a wide range of research and career fields: -Actuary -Statistician / data scientist -Operations research analyst -Software engineer -Investment banking analyst -Research scientist -Cryptographer -Business consultant -Product development engineer -Forecast analyst -Quality assurance manager
