Introduction to Career Information

Career Profiles
A wide range of career options are available for the math major. The Mathematics Association of America sponsored interviews at http://www.maa.org/careers/index.html (October 1999) with people using mathematics in their careers. UNT faculty member Michael Monticino was also interviewed, see http://www.maa.org/careers/monticino.html These essays provide practical answers to the question: "Why should I study math?" Most of those profiled use mathematics on a daily basis; others rely on the general problem solving skills acquired in their mathematics courses.
