Big data is one of the hot directions at present. With the application of big data technology in the industry, the demand for talents in the field of big data is gradually being released, which is obvious in the recruitment of talents in the past two years. Many graduate students will choose big data development positions, involving big data platform development and big data application development.
The direction of big data needs to have three foundations, namely mathematics, statistics and computers. Therefore, for undergraduates majoring in mathematics, choosing the direction of big data will have a relatively smooth learning process, but attention should be paid to the study of computer-related knowledge. Undergraduate students majoring in mathematics can develop in the direction of algorithm design when they are graduate students, and the post demand for data analysis is still relatively large in the future.
The direction of artificial intelligence is also one of the more common choices at present. Because at present, the cultivation of talents in the field of artificial intelligence is mainly based on postgraduate education, with the increasing popularity of artificial intelligence, the demand for artificial intelligence talents in the industry is also growing. Judging from the employment situation of graduate students in the past two years, graduate students in the direction of artificial intelligence often have higher salaries and more choices when they are employed.
Finally, in addition to considering the direction of big data and artificial intelligence, cloud computing and edge computing are also good choices for mathematics majors. With the popularization of 5G communication, the future development prospects of these directions are also relatively broad.
