Mathematics majors mainly study pure mathematics, which is quite boring for most people, but it is quite interesting for people like Chen Jingrun and Hua, hehe.
Mathematics and applied mathematics

Information and computing science
Professional introduction
Business development goals:
Business training objectives: This major trains senior professionals who have good mathematical knowledge, master the basic theories and methods of information science and computing science, have received preliminary training in scientific research, can use what they have learned and skilled computer skills to solve practical problems, and can engage in research, teaching, application development and management in scientific, technical, educational and economic departments.
Business training requirements: Students in this major mainly study the basic theories, knowledge and methods of information science and computing science, lay a solid mathematical foundation, receive solid computer training, and initially have the ability to engage in scientific research, solve practical problems and design and develop related software in the fields of information science and computing science.
Graduates should have the following knowledge and abilities:
1. Have a solid mathematical foundation and master the basic theories and knowledge of information science and computing science;
2. Skillful use of computers (including common languages, tools and some special software), with basic algorithm analysis, design ability and strong programming ability;
3. Understand an application field and be able to solve some practical problems in scientific research or production by using the theories, methods and skills learned;
4. Understand the new development of theory, technology and application of information science and computing science;
5. Master the basic methods of literature retrieval and data query, and have certain scientific research and software development capabilities.
In fact, the content of the latter two majors is similar to that of software engineering, but the emphasis is slightly different. You can also work as a software engineer in an IT company after graduation.
Mathematics majors need to learn some contents, such as advanced mathematics, discrete mathematics, combinatorial mathematics, graph theory and so on. My scalp is numb when I think about it. For girls, if they don't like math very much, it's best not to apply.
Mathematics is the oldest natural science subject. As early as 19, practical mathematics almost reached the bottleneck of development. There are almost no remarkable achievements in mathematics in the whole 20th century, and I don't think there will be much room for the development of mathematics specialty in the future.
Mathematics graduates mainly go to scientific research institutions, schools, or IT enterprises for employment. With the effect of the one-child policy becoming more and more obvious, the demand for teachers in China is actually declining, and the IT industry has developed too fast in recent years, and low-end talents have been tight and saturated. If you don't have a high enough standard in software, it is difficult to get a job in IT enterprises, and the demand for personnel in scientific research institutions has always been relatively small.
If you want to find a wrong job, I'm afraid it's difficult to compete with graduates with corresponding majors.
To sum up, I don't think math major is an ideal choice.
