For mathematics majors, many students don't need to lament this major because of the boring textbook theory at the undergraduate level. Because in the postgraduate stage, mathematics majors emphasize the integration of theory with practice. The real charm of mathematics lies in its incomparable practicality. Under the general economic and financial background, it is impossible to analyze the rapidly changing financial market and make financial model analysis with strong mathematical ability. Moreover, applied mathematics is the foundation and rising platform of computer specialty, and it is one of the specialties closely related to computer science and technology. It is precisely because Ying Shu is closely related to other related majors and there are many similar majors to choose from, so choosing this major has more room for manoeuvre than other majors, and it is much easier to re-choose a job and change careers, which is conducive to better employment in the future. Let's look at several typical employment directions of applied mathematics:
"Diamond collar" actuary:
Many actuaries who are very popular in the United States are from mathematics majors. At home and abroad, actuaries have attracted many people's attention for their high employment rate and high salary. To be a qualified actuary, you need to have a solid mathematical foundation, be able to skillfully use modern mathematical methods and data to analyze and judge future trends, have a keen insight into risks and the ability to deal with various controllable risks. Therefore, a good professional background in mathematics can undoubtedly enter the role quickly in the employment in this field.
Banking and securities industry work:
Collins, vice president of Citibank in the United States, stated in a speech at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom: "People who work in the banking industry and don't know mathematics actually deal with things that are of little significance." He also pointed out that 70% of Citibank's business depends on mathematics, and he particularly emphasized that "without the tools and technologies developed by mathematics, we can't do anything about many things ... we can't survive without mathematics." Here, the banker described the importance of mathematics with his experience. Even the ivy league admissions clearly pointed out that you can not understand the economy, we can teach you, but you don't know math, which is unbearable. It can be seen that mathematical technology has indisputably entered the financial field with its accurate description and strict deduction.
IT industry:
With the rapid development of market economy, China IT industry has entered the era of talent scarcity. As the hottest major, its rapid development is obvious to all. As a result, the training speed of IT talents can't keep up with the development of IT industry, and the talent gap reaches millions every year. "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. To be a qualified software talent, a solid mathematical foundation and strict logical thinking are indispensable, and strict logical thinking also comes from its solid and profound mathematical foundation. Considering the needs of professional and professional development, the advantages of applied mathematics in IT industry can not be ignored.
Professional scholar mathematician:
Mathematicians are a group whose profession is mathematical research, who have made some contributions in the field of mathematics, and their research results can be generally recognized by their peers. After finishing his postdoctoral studies, he quickly entered a scientific research institution and became an expert in a field. Not only does he have a high social status, but his working environment and related benefits are undoubtedly very rich. Mathematicians can be divided into two categories. Mathematics teachers enter various teaching and research systems, continue to study many unknown fields and problems to be solved, and undertake the teaching work in colleges and universities. The other is to become a financial mathematician. Financial mathematicians are professionals who design all kinds of complex financial products in the world. Apply your own mathematical knowledge, especially advanced probability theory, to finance. It's like an automobile engineer can design a Cadillac with a royal crown and shield and a slow but safe tank car. Financial mathematicians can design a series of different financial products for different customers in different markets.
