What field in math would provide the most satisfaction?
Q. Hi I am a math major (senior) specializing in financial math at a major big ten university. I am planning to go to grad school. But I do not know what I would get into. As in what field. Number theory, applied math, complex analysis, financial and actuarial.? I would like to know from people who have math related jobs or who have some experience. What field of math would give the most satisfaction? in terms of salary, and enjoyment. Vague question. But bear with me here.

A. i would pick a job as a statistician, they make good money, and the job is suitable for a math whiz like yourself, plus, they are in need of statisticians for they have very special skills that almost no one else can perform, so that's what i would suggest

How good does your math skills need to be when going for mechanical engineering?
Q. For a bachelors degree how good do you have to be at math? A list of math courses would be good. No designating math sequence course #s because; I won't understand what they what they mean. Each college/university has their own standards. Rather just provide the names to the math courses. Easy ten points.

What advanced math classes should I take for economics?
Q. I'm an economics major, and I'm not sure exactly what sort of math classes I should be taking. I'm planning on graduating next year, and I am interested in the most useful math classes to take to prepare myself for grad school in economics. I'm taking the analysis courses with Rudin's book this fall and spring, Applied Linear Algebra this fall, and then I want to take topology as well. But I want to take more math, should I do things like numerical methods, fundamental structure of Algebra, or Differential Equations or what?

A. First of all, you should definitely stay focused on applied math classes and don't take too many pure math classes unless you are interested in math. Now, the applied math classes for an econ major would be undergraduate trimester calculus course (which sounds like you have taken). Then linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, AND some sort of an intro to applied math class (which will be an advanced version of calculus 3). Notice this class is not the same as the analysis courses you are taking which are also called advanced calculus by some people. Numerical analysis/methods will definitely be useful (in fact a lot of recent discoveries in numerical analysis were made by economists and weather forecasters). Topology is… [cont.]

How much math is involved in a marketing major?
Q. I am horrible in math but I'm interested in a business major, specifically marketing. How much math is involved in marketing and what is the least math intensive business major? Thanks.
Asked by Tank24 - Wed Oct 21 14:45:52 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There is math in marketing and pretty much every business program. You are mostly looking at statistics. It is important to be able to interpret research results and you need stats to do that. A lot of computer programs can do the work but you still need to understand it so you can apply the results properly to your research. In my program we were required to take stats courses where you unfortunately don't get to use the computer and have to do calculations by hand. You will also need basic algebra when determining finances and costs for any business program. Probably the least math intensive major would be Human Resources which you don't need stats (depending on the school) but you still will have to do financial calculations.

How much math is involved with being a nurse or medic in the military?
Q. I am contemplating on joining the Army. I plan on going the ROTC route and coming out as an officer with hopefully a bachelor's in Nursing. I was wondering if, as an officer, you can still be a medic. And I also wanted to know how much math is involved with that stuff? Any useful answers are welcome. Thank you.

A. A military nurse will have to know as much math as a civilian nurse, ie. calculating dosages. The pharmacy is supposed to send the correct medication in the correct dosage to the floor but as a nurse, you are responsible for making sure it really is correct. Remember when Dennis Quaid's twins got an overdose of Heparin? Enlisted people are medics.

A. As populations increase past the point of small villages, it becomes critical for the welfare of all involved that the state's available resources are used efficiently. This demand for efficient use continues to increase as the population increases. This efficient use requires math and science skills. For example, while a village of 100 may all get their drinking water from a village, and all live close enough to get it themselves, a city of 100,000 cannot. Thus, the water must be distributed from the river among the inhabitants which requires the construction of canals, pumps, etc. Besides the obvious resources like water, food, timber, etc. this need for efficiently managing resources impacts many resources we often take for granted in… [cont.]

How much math does one need to become successful?
Q. I am a freshman in college, and my major has nothing to with math. It is more art affiliated. But I've always had great interest in math and I I know knowledge is power, that is one reason I didnt stop at Algebra 2 after I graduated from High school. I am currently taking a Statistics class, and I wonder if I should take calculus next semester. So this is a question to all the people who have graduated from college and are working and living a happy life. How much math did you take? Have you ever wished you had taken a math course you didnt take? Should I take calculus next semester?

A. If you are going to do research in the future (I mean experiments and so on), you need math. Maybe not calculus, though, mostly algebra. Calculus is useful for scientific fields, "in computer science, in statistics, and in engineering; in economics, business, and medicine; and as a general method whenever the goal is an optimal solution to a problem that can be given in mathematical form." In other words, science = calculus. arts = algebra. Business = calculus. I say, no calculus.
