Masters in Math programs often immerse students in the study of pure
mathematics or help them discover its application to other disciplines. Curriculums in Math Masters programs might explore numerous areas such as modelling, business analytics, data science, biological science and other related fields.
Types of Masters in Mathematics-
While applicants to Math masters programs may not need an undergraduate degree specifically in a math major, some universities might require prospective students to have a strong math background. For this reason, some programs might expect that students be thoroughly familiar with subjects such as multivariable calculus, abstract linear algebra, analysis and differential equations.
JOB OPTIONS AFTER MASTERS IN MATH-
You can work as a Statistician, Research analytic, Business Analyst, Economic Analytic, Operations Analyst, Data Analyst, Financial Analyst, Numerical Analyst, Mathematician, Researcher, Computer System Analyst, Statistical Quality Control.
