A primary goal of mathematics is to explain and understand patterns of all kinds: algebraic, geometric, graphical, numerical, and structural, using abstract thinking, logical reasoning, and quantitative calculation. The work of a mathematician can be theoretical, applied, or a combination of the two. Pure mathematicians want to better understand math for its own sake, and this work may in the future become important elsewhere (e.g., in computer science, cryptography, or physics). Applied mathematicians use their skills to develop new mathematical models and methods that can be used in real-life problems now.

Applied mathematicians develop the techniques and approaches to problem solving in the physical, biological, and social sciences. Typically, applied mathematicians start with a practical problem, envision the separate elements of the process under consideration, and then reduce the elements into mathematical variables. They often analyze relationships among the variables and solve complex problems by developing models with alternate solutions.

The nature of the work done by a mathematician varies. Mathematics is used as a means of solving both practical and abstract problems. Whether the focus is theoretical, applied, or a combination of the two, the skills acquired can be transferred to many different industries. There are broad applications of physics in many industries, including manufacturing, computer technology, engineering, biophysics, medicine, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, chemical companies, research labs, higher education, and government. There are also some opportunities in high-tech industries for those with a master’s degree in physics.

Statistics deals with the collection, analysis, and presentation of numerical data by way of mathematical theories. If valid, this information is used to help various agencies, industries, and researchers determine the best ways to produce results in their work. This data is then examined and determined to be reliable and useful or invalid. In order to make valid interpretations possible, statisticians advise on sampling techniques, data collection methods, survey design/methodology, and methods of data analysis. Theories such as probability and inference are examined to discover the mathematical bases for new and/or improved methods of obtaining and evaluating numerical data.

The nature of the work for a Psychology major is specific to the industry that one enters. Those in residential care work in a hands-on environment that requires constant teamwork and flexible schedules. The setting for individuals interested in social services depends on factors such as population, funding source, working hours, and client-specific issues. Human resource professionals handle employment and placement, salary administration, training, development, benefits administration, and research and information management. Therapists work in a client setting and must always be flexible. Finally, academia allows for research opportunities and some administrative duties.

Structural biologists and biophysicists focus mainly on research, but this research can vary greatly and include both basic and applied research. However, the essence of this research remains the same. Research topics range from studying the DNA in cells to developing a framework for understanding the function of living organisms. This can include the study of electrical impulses along the nerves; the study of brain functions; and the study of sight and hearing.

A person in this field examines both the social and economic difficulties facing the United States and the programs and policies designed to resolve them. The focus is on the origin, growth, structure, and demographic characteristics of cities. Students also research the problems that arise from an urban environment. They will gather information on problem trends and suggest solutions to the problems. They will also re-evaluate the existing social/economic programs and policies already in place. This will help public policy makers to develop and implement better programs and will also heighten awareness about issues and initiatives affecting public interest.
