ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A
MATH MAJOR?
The study of mathematics is not only exciting, but important. Mathematicians contribute to society by helping to solve problems in such diverse fields as medicine, business, industry, government, computer science, physics, psychology, engineering, and social science. Mathematics is often done in conjunction with another field: biology, physics, economics, or a host of others. Mathematical modeling is used to solve real problems in a variety of fields. Statistics is a growing field, particularly in those fields dealing with human behavior. Many topics in
"pure math" have important applications in computer science. There is a national shortage of teachers in all the mathematical science (pure math, applied math, statistics, and computer science) at all levels, so any of these fields goes well with teaching and/or research.
