I have to admit, I have a talent in mathematics. I attended about five maths lessons in the whole two years of a-level maths and bunked off all the other ones. I taught myself the whole a-level syllabus for maths in the summer holidays before they started, so I didn't need to attend the maths lessons. I got 97.5% in my a-level maths, overall.
Ok enough showing off lol, but I just want to ask, does anyone know what sort of career I could have in mathematics? What sorts of jobs are out there which involve the daily use of mathematics?
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
Hmmm I'm not good at explaining things and I'm not really into finance....

One of my friends is studying maths and her ambition is to be an actuary. Which sounds quite interesting (as maths goes, I must admit I'm not a fan!)
I imagine so many fields of research can involve mathematics. I know someone in the Environmental Science department at my uni started out as a mathematician, so I should think mathematics is used in a wide variety of departments.
my stepfather had a degree in pure maths and he ended up doing computing. This was a long time ago though, when IT degrees didn't exist and most people didn't have computers.
He wrote IBM's check reading system and later on he developed his own software using a language he wrote himself, that used lots of maths. He was very successful at it.

Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain.
Silly suggesting in a way coming up but it's possible!
If you've ever seen Numb3rs, there's a guy in it who works with the FBI on cases using numbers to solve cases like predicting where suspects would go next using equations and probability xD
See I cannot feel this, not matter how you try and in the real world, there's no goodbyes.
Thanks a lot for all the help. I will be doing natural sciences MSc but I have no idea what I'll do for my PhD yet. Computing sounds interesting.
I've got a good maths record (including a UK ranking) so it seems sensible to use it.
Time will tell...
Thanks.
