What can you do with a math major?
Math is the study of patterns and abstract relationships, in both the real world and the lofty realms of pure theory. Basically, math is about understanding patterns, quantifying relationships, and reaching logical conclusions. A degree in math can equip you with quantitative problem-solving skills that are highly sought after in many careers. If self-study, creative thinking, persistence and deep, intricate logic all sound appealing, then a math major could be the right choice for you!

the hardest part of getting a mathematics degree is having to tell all of your family that you don't know what you are going to do for a living after you get the degree.

@LifewithKeeks_ Год назад

Me currently with an applied mathematics in statistics degree double majoring in economics 😂😂🤝🤝

I don't know how it is outside of Germany, but here a bachelors degree in math opens you a lot of different doors. You just have to choose a path. And you can always do a masters to specialize yourself.

@tobycurrie4499 4 дня назад

Exactly! Graduated with a degree in pure math 2 years ago. Still trying to figure out what to do with it.

Best crossover in RU-vid history

@phillipbell4394 Год назад

I'm a Mexican-American dual citizen, and I am also a double major in mathematics and statistics, and the major is a great one. It's given me opportunities to do research with NASA and UC Berkeley because they need people who can make contour maps, work in topological data analysis, understand the group and ring theory behind cryptography, code in R, Python, Fortran and SQL, and you can get there as a math major. That being said this isn't a walk in the park. I'm not going to say that this is the hardest major because the gap in skill between an everyday person and a professional-grade artist is something truly monstrous, but in regards to math, beyond these gates, there be dragons. Especially with the isolation of being a minority, I think you have to love it (or at the very least respect it) and if you don't take it seriously, these courses will eat you alive. But if you're up for the challenge, and you fancy yourself a dragon slayer...by all means.

math and economics major here, i finished my intro to math reasoning (math proofs)2nd midterm and this video made me tear up how it is self motivation and persistence I love the subject but it is challenging and sometimes i do need a reminder that my major is not easy and not that i’m dumb. I will graduate some day proudly with my majors especially Math

@studyhall Год назад

Yes you will!!!! 👏👏👏

@alifishies Год назад

Too many people give math a bad rep. It's basically a bunch of puzzle games. I have absolutely no plans of studying it, but stop hating

@adacathy3018 10 месяцев назад

For real tho

@VinnieGer Год назад

I didn’t know math was this cool!!

@emilywilliamson391 Год назад

I have been waiting for this video! I thought I should choose Mathematics as my major and I relate to wanting to understand patterns and reaching logical conclusions. I have always enjoyed and been excited in all my math classes that most other students did not relate to. Will there be more videos in relation to this one that go further in depth as far as careers go?

@tobycurrie4499 4 дня назад

I originally thought i comsciously chose my pure math degree due to some circumstances of my life, including the RU-vidrs I binged while i had a broken leg in high school. Now, I see that my love of pure math comes from a deep sense of satisfaction I get by identifying previously unseen or undescribed priblems in an unambiguous manner, and finding creative and complete yet efficient solutions to them.

@many_feet Год назад

Wow, this sure answer my progress.

@HelloHuman1 Год назад

Amazing to see you again.

@TheDanEdwards Год назад

"a little harder" - is a bit of an understatement. Upper level mathematics is a challenging thing even for those who did well in high school. It's an admirable thing, to try and get people to study mathematics, but I doubt there will be many additional recruits on top of those who already have a bent on being math majors. Been there, done that, and even in a major university known for its science and engineering departments and even the department of mathematics and a separate department of statistics that are well known in the field, those who were majors in mathematics were mostly those young people who were already interested in mathematics from school.

@kristianfella-glanville Год назад

Well its way way way way more interesting which makes it easier because youre more motivated to learn it

@khyvakhyva9506 10 месяцев назад

I have a degree in Energy... lots of math required. Being the first of my family to get a degree, I wish I had understood prerequisites. Those little buggers added a year on to my degree. Also thank you for this. My teenager is starting to plan for college & this is all super helpful.

@ranahijawi7099 Год назад

Thank you for the inclusive animation and great content ❤

@elysse3653 Месяц назад

I picked my major based on the high school class that made me feel most excited

Mathematics is amazing!!

Just watching this for Sabrina 🤩

@eiluvart0416 8 месяцев назад

are there careers out there that are not teaching or stats/comp sci related? like where you mostly do calculus? bc that would be my dream

@trevinbeattie4888 5 месяцев назад

One of my professors once said: “2 + 2 = 5 … for large values of 2 and small values of 5.” 😂 (Context: significant digits. I think this was a physics class.)

@LifewithKeeks_ Год назад

I was a Computer Engineering major who switched majors junior year of university to double major in Applied Mathematics in Statistics and Economics thinking I’d always have a job bc everyone needs math right? but I find all my options where I currently live is to be a teacher / “adjunct professor” I don’t want to be a teacher 😭 I don’t regret my major but sometimes I wish I went through the actuary program my university offered and suggested or did internships. I want a Masters to increase my job options, but why get a masters when I’m struggling to find work and experience with the degrees I have? It’s tough! But like she said if math “intrigues” and “excites” you, I recommend checking out the major! As stressful as it was, it was worth it! Mathematical finance though… hm .. let me look into that lol!

@ethanchaney1139 8 месяцев назад

Friend of mine got a double major in economics and history and currently works for a health care technology company. I don't think your degree is an issue here, you may need to just see what's out there in the market a bit more. So a double major in math and econ may even open up more opportunities than he has, that being said, your destiny isn't to be a teacher I promise, best of luck to you.

@sshilander Год назад

50000 to be a teacher? Where lol. This is why it's so hard to find stem teachers.

@alarcon99 Год назад

Writing this to appease the algorithm but why is YT undercounting comments ? At this moment there are 12 (now 13) but it only lists 2 comments.

@trevinbeattie4888 5 месяцев назад

I’m guessing the total count under the video isn’t updated in real time, so it doesn’t account for new comments added or moderated comments removed since you started watching.

@billyopancakes9474 Год назад

can you please do architecture bc i’m kind of leaning towards majoring in that but i hear it’s time consuming and not that worth it

@studyhall Год назад

We have an architecture Fast Guide coming out in a few weeks!

@mickeymaples4928 Год назад

do economics

@yourfavoritepessimisticexi8041 Год назад

Please do economics next!

Guess what today's episode was? 😮

@charlottepeukert9095 8 месяцев назад

How are you going to help those students who struggel with their math major? I keep on hearing the same story all over again: math is great.Yes, but why do people struggle to explain it ? Why does it have so little significance in day to day life? I believe people would work hard to improve their math-skills if they could use math to directly(not indirectly) improve their lifes. So, dear math- people please take a bunch of people and explain to them in simple terms how exactly they could improve their lifes with the help of math. In 3 to 5 sentences, please.

@ethanchaney1139 8 месяцев назад

Math is the foundation of society. Logistic chains, the micro and macro economy, and basic every day planning are all easier to understand with math. A deeper understanding of math will immediately make you better at analyzing the numbers in your life, and better calculating risk. Your math skills are your day to day reasoning skills, so improving them will simply make you better. You'll also gain a deeper appreciation for the world around you. Now in regards to majoring in it, no there is no immediate use to it. The use is in that everything, and I mean everything, in the world is built off of the language of math. The modern weapons systems in war are developed through mathematical models and trigonometry. The phone or computer you're watching this video was built by engineers using applied math, and the software your computer/phone runs on was developed by software engineers. The car you drive and all of it's modern functions like bluetooth, better fuel efficiency, and A/C are a direct result of our advancement in math and finding applicable uses of said theory. TV, lights, modern plumbing, airplanes, and anything that uses electricity to operate are a by product of people getting math degrees expanding our knowledge and understanding of math. Planes literally use imaginary numbers to fly.

@charlottepeukert9095 8 месяцев назад

@@ethanchaney1139 That's not what I mean. No one is building the next computer- generation on one's own. Those are spezialiced carreers.What I mean is: there should be a direkt approach for everyone to apply mathematical knowlege to one's life with instant gratification. It should work like language learning: you learn it, you visit the country and bum!- you talk to people, hang out with them and so on. And math? Shall I take the I phone apart?

@mrmartywaring 10 месяцев назад

While I'm interested in math, it's not practical in relation to the real world. I believe it will make a great double major or minor to a business degree.

@charlottepeukert9095 8 месяцев назад

Nice, but can math ( and a degree in the field) improve your financial situation? Not by telling a potential employer:" I'm good at problem- solving." That's not sufficient.More concrete skills are needed to secure a high- paying job.
