Which occupation is mathematics intensive?

Question

I'm in my first year of college and I found that I do very well in math getting highest scores in all my math classes so far. I love solving math problems. The harder the problem the better the feeling I get from solving it.

Which occupation is highly mathematics intensive? If your recommendation is from personal experience, can you please share your thoughts and opinion?

Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

Anything related to engineering or finance is math intensive. Computer Science jobs involve lots of logic -- which is also related.

Take a couple of finance classes & see if you like them. Keep taking Math -- it is a great background

Answer 2

Sometimes its good to have a sense of jobs that are different than the typical of what everyone can think of.
I think this one is interesting:
-Actuaries specialize in determining how much to charge for services that have an uncertain future cost. Most actuaries specialize in either life and health or property and accident insurance. Others work in finance or employee benefits. Regardless of their specialty, they assemble and analyze data to estimate probabilities of an event taking place, such as death, sickness, injury, disability, or property loss.

Anddd this one:
-Operations research analysts help managers run their companies more efficiently by creating mathematical models to solve business problems. Inefficiency may be caused by things such as poor personnel schedules at a bank, or poor distribution methods at a manufacturing company. A lot of research is required to generate these models. Analysts must talk to people in various departments to gather the information they need.

-Statistician: The statistician’s main responsibility is making sure that the surveys or experiments they design will give accurate indications of the way things are. The information they provide is used to make important decisions, so they must be confident that their sampling technique, data collection and methods of analysis give fair and reliable results. They are able to predict the future of the economy, or determine the most effective treatment for a deadly disease. These are some of the activities that statisticians perform as part of their jobs. To perform these remarkable feats, they use math and calculus.

-Accountant: Organizing and analyzing companies' internal financial information and often playing an important role in decision-making. Helping people and businesses figure out how much they owe in tax and preparing their financial records.

-Environmental Engineer: Use your math and science skills to help solve problems related to clean drinking water, air pollution, waste disposal and toxic substances.

-Market Research Analyst: Study (and try to predict) social, political and economic trends -- like divorce rates, voting patterns and automobile sales.

Answer 3

Engineering is very reliable on mathematics.
Mechanics is too because when you make parts you can't just make any size parts, you have to make an exact size for any type of machinery.
Also in Medical it's very intensive because in MRIs the lasers are derivatives that are used in calculus. Also you have to measure how big an incision is going be because you don't want to give that person a big scar. Also in medical you have to measure how close the operation is to the heart or to very important and vital organs.

Answer 4

teaching math in college

Answer 5

Engineering, physics, astronomy, pretty much any of the 'hard' sciences. Medicine, not so much.
