MIM- Dedicated To Disseminating Education
The Importance of Mathematics

Mathematics is used by all individuals in everyday life. In
science, mathematics is an essential tool for nearly all scientifc
studies. Scientists use in it designing experiments, analyzing data,
expressing precisely their fndings by mathematical formulas, and
making predictions on the basis of these fndings. Such physical
sciences as astronomy, chemistry, and physics rely heavily on
mathematics. Social sciences, economics, psychology, and sociology
also depend greatly on statistics and several other branches of
mathematics.
Operations Research Analysts: Operations research analysts formulate and
apply mathematical modeling methods to develop and interpret information that
assists management with policy formulation and other managerial functions. If
youre planning to take this profession be sure you have a thorough knowledge of
strong quantitative and computer skills: an advanced knowledge in mathematics.

Mathematician: A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study or
research is mathematics. Mathematicians are concerned with particular problems
related to logic space transformations numbers and more general ideas which
encompass these concepts. !hey do research come up with problems and solutions
etc.
Software Engineers: A highly fulfilling career software engineers design and
develop software. !hey apply the theories and principles of computer science and
mathematical analysis to create test analyse and evaluate the software applications
and systems that make computers work. "oftware engineers are also e#perts in
theory of computing systems the structure of software and the nature and
limitations of hardware to ensure that the underlying systems will work properly.
$rofessionals in this field have e#cellent prospects in the ne#t five to %& years.
Teachers: If you have an affinity for numbers you can pursue a career in teaching.
A Maths teacher is always on demand as this is considered one of the main sub'ects
throughout schooling. It is a highly paid 'ob in India as many maths teachers provide
coaching or tuition to students. Mathematicians who work in academia usually have
a mi# of teaching and research responsibilities.
