Careers in Mathematics and Statistics Overview: Mathematics is a science that deals with the logic of quantities, measurement, structures and shapes. It includes theoretical and applied studies of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. The work of mathematicians’ falls into two broad classes—theoretical (pure) mathematics and applied mathematics. Theoretical / Pure mathematic is the branch of mathematics that study and develop the principles of mathematics for the reason other than application. Theoretical mathematicians advance mathematical knowledge by developing new principles and recognizing previously unknown relationships between existing principles of mathematics. Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with the application of mathematical knowledge to other domains. Applied mathematicians, use theories and techniques, such as mathematical modelling and computational methods, to formulate and solve practical problems in business, government, engineering, and in the physical, life, and social sciences. For example, they may analyze the most efficient way to schedule airline routes between cities, or the cost-effectiveness of alternative manufacturing processes. Applied mathematicians start with a practical problem, envision the separate elements of the process under consideration, and then reduce the elements to mathematical variables. They often use computers to analyze relationships among the variables and solve complex problems by developing models with alternative solutions. Statistics is the scientific application of mathematical principles to the collection, analysis, and presentation of numerical data. Statisticians contribute to scientific inquiry by applying their mathematical and statistical knowledge to the design of surveys and experiments; the collection, processing, and analysis of data; and the interpretation of the results.
