Mathematics, General:
It is because of a college advisor who suggested that I major in Math that I was hired right out of college for an agency in Washington, DC and began a 45 year career that has taken me around the world and given me a life's work that has been challenging and rewarding. If a person has the mind for it, I would highly recommend a major in Mathematics. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose this major. The cons are that it is a difficult major and the most people who major in in are studious with no time for fun. The pros are that there are many career avenues after college. |

Mathematics, General:
Take real analysis first to see some "real" math. A math major is about proofs, not computations. But if you are interested at all in problem solving, I would recommend looking into this major. |

Mathematics, General:
Mathematics is a challenging field, but a very rewarding field. As a math major, you need to have facility with numbers and numerical concepts, but also patience and good problem solving skills. I work now in software development, and the process of developing a mathematical proof is very similar to the process of developing software, at least at an intellectual level. There are many career opportunities in mathematics, in academia, the hard sciences, the social sciences, and in finance. The one negative I always mention is that it is near impossible to explain what mathematics is about to a non-math major. |
