I got extra points in the high school math contest, so I can only enter the math department. I think now I should be glad that I didn't take the extra college entrance examination to go to some majors in Qingbei and come here. I don't think other places will be better than here.
When I first entered school, I also envied the practical application of courses for students majoring in economics and management, envied the direct counterparts of csds students, and doubted whether it would be useless to learn mathematics by myself if I was not interested in scientific research. Doubt has invested too much enthusiasm in knowledge that will never be used again.
At that time, a senior told me that I should learn math well and improve gpa anyway, and I tried to do so, so I didn't lead myself to fish and dance college.
I really want to thank him. I didn't know how wide my choices were until I learned math well. The fiery MFE is a good student here, and almost all the top projects are randomly selected. There are also famous schools that offer various PhDs. All this is based on solid mathematics and physics.
Now, I study mathematics hard, get in touch with the knowledge of my favorite field, and take some courses related to stats (non-math major courses), such as "Tiger Going Down the Mountain" and "Cutting Melons and Vegetables", because the background of the math department makes me feel relaxed about any math course for non-math majors.
It can be said that the way out is no worse than any major. Moreover, with more and more mathematics in the future, learning mathematics well will become more and more popular, and people who don't learn mathematics will want to learn mathematics well more and more.
In the department of mathematics, especially in a good school, students have many choices. Even if you are not interested in mathematics research, as long as you can learn in the past, it is a good springboard to transfer to any field, even more advantageous than undergraduate students in this major.
But the premise is that we must learn the things in class well and try our best to learn them. Otherwise, high-intensity and difficult professional courses will really make people autistic. If you don't understand and don't do it, it is the greatest denial of your own value. Too low GPA will also reduce your choices in future planning.
This is the case in the Department of Mathematics. The best students should make up their practical knowledge in the arrangement of after-school internship and scientific research, and finally apply to the top school where they like their major and go to Hayes. If you go to a hedge fund, you can get a starting salary and room for growth that financial CS majors can't reach. Students who don't learn well are even more difficult to learn math, finance and coding. What can they do? What should I do?
So I think the prospects of students majoring in mathematics are polarized.
So before the subject starts his college life, I'll give you a suggestion: if you want to learn math, you must be a good student.
