WHY STUDY MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS?

Abstraction. Modeling. Applications.

Mathematics is the language of science, a powerful tool for solving problems, and a creative field of study. A student trained in math develops an ability to think abstractly and solve problems. This opens the door to a career in many fields: programming, robotics, cryptography, actuarial math, finance, space science, engineering, teaching, etc.

Statistics is the study of the collection and analysis of numerical data. As a consequence, statisticians are in high demand in many areas: economics, politics, biology, environmental science, social science, marketing, medical science, etc.

Mathematics and statistics are challenging and rewarding areas of study which can lead to careers in many areas. Today's mathematician is not a reclusive nerd - he or she is a desirable employee with the ability to think through and solve hard problems!
