Mathematics provides the foundation for studying engineering, the physical, biological and health sciences, economics, business, computer science, statistics and many other fields. A major in mathematics itself opens up job opportunities in many fields since mathematical problem-solving skills are widely applicable. Thus, people with mathematical degrees work in fields such as accounting, budget and financial analysis, market research analysis, demographics, banking and finance and systems analysis, and many others.
