A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and/or research is the field of mathematics. Mathematicians are concerned with particular problems related to logic, space, transformations, numbers and more general ideas which encompass these concepts. Some scientists who research other fields are also considered mathematicians if their research provides insights into mathematics - one notable example is Edward Witten. Conversly, some mathematicians may provide insights into other fields of research - these people are known as applied mathematicians.

Some notable mathematicians include Sir Isaac Newton, Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss, Archimedes of Syracuse, Leonhard Paul Euler, Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, Euclid of Alexandria, Jules Henri Poincaré, David Hilbert, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and Pierre de Fermat.

How do mathematicians study rings and groups?
Q. Rings and groups are a set of elements closed under an operation (or something like that). What can mathematicians study from these elements in rings and groups? What are some of the applications? Thank you.
Asked by DL It's Me! - Sun Feb 24 14:14:47 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are many applications of group theory. See the Wikipedia article, link below. About rings I am not so sure. However the next step up from a ring is a field, and here there are many applications as well. Disclaimer: I don't know all that much algebra, and an expert might give you a very different answer.

What fields involve a lot of math? What can math majors do besides being teachers and mathematicians?
Q. I am currently in business anxd I've realized that I'd much rather focus on math. However, I don't know what I would end up doing... How much math is involved in architecture and engineering for example?
Asked by Anonymous - Thu Oct 15 14:24:58 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You can always be an actuary. See beanactuary.org. A fair amount of math is involved in both, and computer science has quite a bit of math in it.
