Mathematics before British universities was very simple. Many people in China choose mathematics just to get into a good university. The reason why China students are good at mathematics is that China's high school and junior high school mathematics education is relatively profound. So China students think math is very similar. However, mathematics in British universities is very difficult, because their education is gradual, and mathematics before universities is easy. Entering the university is the real beginning of learning mathematics. The more you learn, the more difficult it becomes. On the contrary, students in China have no advantage. Mathematics in China University can't compare with mathematics in British universities. Because the mathematics in Britain is very developed and the research is very in-depth, the mathematics in our country is rather complicated. It seems that I have learned a lot, but none of them are deep or expert. But real pure mathematics is not so easy to learn.
Mathematics in Britain is well combined with practice, such as financial mathematics and actuarial science. They are all high-income industries. They are senior white-collar workers with great prospects, but they are really difficult to learn. True pure mathematics takes the road of research and is often close to mathematicians. In today's economic tide, not many people really learn this.
