Mathematics major belongs to the basic major and is the "parent major" of other related majors. Graduates of this major have inherent advantages if they want to "change careers" and enter careers such as scientific research data analysis, software development and 3D animation production. "In improving the speed and efficiency of a software, new ideas and methods are needed, and the innovation ability of mathematics experts is stronger than that of ordinary computer students." An engineer from a well-known IT company said. In the sample survey of 230 successful people in IT industry, 200 people belong to those who realize career re-selection based on mathematics or related majors.
Business personnel
Financial mathematicians are already one of the most sought-after talents on Wall Street. In the simplest example, the chief actuary may have the highest status and income among insurance companies. In the United States, famous universities such as the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, new york University, etc. have all set up degree or professional certificate education related to financial mathematics. Nevertheless, many actuaries who are very popular in the United States are from mathematics majors. In addition to insurance actuaries, mathematical modeling has also been introduced into economics, so mathematical talents who understand the principles of economics are widely accepted by employers, as well as international economy and trade, business administration, chemical and pharmaceutical, communication engineering, architectural design and so on. These are inseparable from the relevant mathematical expertise.
Teachers' occupation
According to the forecast of the Ministry of Education, in the next five years, the gap of senior high school teachers in China will reach 1. 1.6 million, among which the demand for teachers in basic disciplines such as mathematics and Chinese is the greatest. There is even a shortage of math teachers in many cities and counties in Guangdong Province. The statistical analysis of the talent market in 37 large and medium-sized cities in China shows that math teachers are very popular. Broadening the channels for teachers and recruiting teachers for the society has become an important measure for the reform of the education and personnel system. This undoubtedly provides a great development space for applying for the employment of mathematics graduates in comprehensive universities.
Li Kaifu, vice president of Google, reminded college students: "Most knowledge systems of science and engineering majors are based on mathematics. Learning mathematics knowledge can cultivate and train people's thinking ability. "
