Gone are the days when math enthusiasts had just two career options: sit at a desk and solve equations or stand at a blackboard and explain them.
The disciplines of applied mathematics and computational science are making an impact on so many scientific and technological areas that those with a degree in these fields can be overwhelmed by the choices available to them.
Enter “Careers in Applied Mathematics—Alternatives to Academia for STEM Majors,” a 20-page glossy career guide published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
Anyone with an interest in applying mathematics to their profession—whether they are just beginning to consider a college major, starting out on a career path, or contemplating an alternate avenue mid-career—will find this comprehensive guide helpful.
Through interviews with 18 professionals from fields as diverse as banking and medical research, the SIAM careers guide gives a true sense of what a day in the life of a mathematician is like. It includes rapidly emerging areas such as data mining, robotics, and climatology, as well as disciplines that have long been the domain of mathematics, such as engineering, aerospace, and the information sciences.
