Mathematics is about logical deduction and analysis and finding and using pattern and structures. Math is essential for explaining and predicting real world outcomes in business and the natural sciences, and has more recently been applied to the humanities and social sciences as well.

All students graduating with a mathematics degree will have developed high level critical thinking skills. As a mathematics graduate you can find employment with companies in technological fields such as computer science, engineering, statistics, and actuarial science. You will also be highly-valued by employers in non-technological fields because of the problem-solving abilities you will have learned. A mathematics degree also provides you a solid foundation to pursue further study in many fields, including the health professions, engineering statistics, and business. A degree in mathematics can prepare you for a teaching career from middle school grades through high school or for entrance to graduate school where you can prepare for a teaching career at the university level or for a research position.
