Employment Resources and Professions Available to Mathematics and Mathematical Science Graduates
Mathematics graduates are well prepared for careers that require advanced analytical and critical thinking skills. They may go on to become software developers, computer engineers, teachers, designers, telecommunications managers, curriculum developers, statisticians, researchers, to name just a few possible career paths. New and exciting applications of mathematics in the work world include cryptography, bioinformatics, computer graphics and animation, econometrics, genomics, neuroscience and derivatives trading. Of course, mathematicians who are on the cutting edge of such new fields usually hold graduate degrees, but others may choose to pursue further study in a related field such as medicine (particularly medical research), economics, physics, business administration or education.The Canadian Mathematics Association has a page about career prospects in mathematics: http://camel.math.ca/Employment/ UPEI’s Info for Math Majors page has some good career links:
