Careers in Mathematics and Physics

A	B
Actuarial Mathematics	This means conducting fundamental research in physics and computational sciences pertaining to the needs of the energy industry with particular focus in the areas of wave propagation, solid-fluid interactions, flow in porous media, granular physics, multi-scale phenomena, rock deformation and failure.
Applied Mathematics	Often this means working on problems in physics, chemistry, geology, and engineering from a mathematical perspective. There are seemingly endless possibilities, ranging from being a climate analyst who models long-term changes in global weather to working as a forensic analyst who investigates data collected at crime scenes to being a population ecologist who works to prevent species from becoming endangered.
Computer Science	The application of mathematics, particularly probability and statistics, to the insurance industry. They research compensation trends and problems internally and externally; perform statistical analyses and predictive modeling on current and proposed compensation scenarios; measure performance of field sales (insurance reps) against established goals; model and track incentive and bonus programs; determine economic impact of various scenarios on the company and the individual. This job specifically requires a mathematics degree.
Financial Mathematics	Mathematics used on Wall Street, for mortgage backing, financial derivatives, and stock market analysis. Sometimes people in this profession are referred to as "quants." There are plenty of mathematics graduates who are traders, working with stocks, commodities, or with foreign exchange.
Statistics	This is a field on its own, but one of the “mathiest” parts of it is graphics and animation. Here, a great example is Pixar, where employees publish research papers involving things like using differential equations to make sure animated clothing doesn't intersect itself. Another especially “mathy” part is the cryptography involved in network security.
Teaching	To teach at the community college level, you should get a Master's degree in mathematics or a Master of Arts in Teaching; to teach at the college level, you should get a Ph.D. (in mathematics, mathematics education, applied mathematics, or statistics).
Technical Writing	Scientists apply their knowledge of physics to the creation of new medical technologies and treatments (ultrasounds, MRIs, or radiation-based cancer treatments).
Engineering and Computational  Physics	The study of methods for collecting, classifying, analyzing and making inferences from data. There are plenty of jobs in statistics.
Medical Physics	The study of the behavior of electrons, light, atoms, and simple molecules.
Particle and nuclear physics	The study of electrons, nuclei, quarks, and other subatomic and atomic particles. Work with nuclear power generation, nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging.
Atomic, molecular, and optical physics	The study of the physical properties of the universe
Astrophysics	This includes everything from science reporting for periodicals to writing documentation for computer software to editing textbooks.
