  • A Mathematician uses techniques to analyze, model and calculate human situations to solve problems
  • Data Mining Business Intelligence, Big Data, Data Science are new areas of  commercial application of Math and Statistical science within the IT industry and is projected to grow in importance and demand
  • Actuarial science is an applied science using mathematics and statistics for assessing risk in finance and insurance. An Actuary is a person working in this field
  • Actuarial science covers a few disciplines such as probability and  stats, finance  and economics.
  • Actuarial math deals with calculation of uncertainty and risk. The main areas of application are death rates, financial risk, risk and ruin theory, credibility theory, demographics, reliability studies and graduation of statistical data.
  • Bachelor university degrees in Actuarial Science, Maths or Statistics offers grads best opportunities to enter the lucrative employment market across diverse fields ranging from IT, Insurance, Finance, Investments, Government, Education ( teacher training). Academia to Commercial Sales, data science,  data analysis and data-mining.
  • Actuaries find lucrative work in Finance, Investment and Insurance, areas where calculation of risk  is crucial.
  • A Statistician is mathematician specializing in the use of statistical methods to measure, understand and analyse large amounts of numerical data to identify trends and patterns for problems solving
  • A degree in Maths  specialisating in Stats is now very useful in getting a job as a Data Scientist within the IT industry , a job which is increasing in demand  
  • Mathematics grads find many work opportunities in Finance, Scientific research, IT (Information Technology), Computer Science and  Education (as Math school teacher).
  • Math grads only need to complete a 6- 12 month post graduate Education / Teaching diploma before being allowed to work as a teacher. Maths teachers are in high demand and the high salaries reflect this. Fancy a job with 3 months of leave in a year ? It’s also RECESSION proof. Math grads also easily switch into IT and qualify as  software programmers and developers.
