But in the age of big data, an increasing number of companies are hiring mathematicians to crunch numbers for all sorts of projects, from energy firms that need to figure out the most efficient ways to get products to distributors, to the U.S. Department of Transportation, which must calculate how best to spend agency money. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that job opportunities for mathematicians will grow 23% between 2012 and 2022 and it pegs the median 2012 mathematician\u2019s salary at $110,000.

The traditional job for an actuary was with an insurance company, where one would model costs from auto accidents, fire, natural disasters, life and health insurance, etc. These models are used to set premium prices. Now there is a need for people with these skills in government agencies, large private companies and unions.<\/p>\n<p>Various job rating surveys have rated actuary as one of the best jobs in the future. This is because there is a long term demand for these positions, they are secure long term careers, opportunities to advance, strong salaries (above those of economists, attorneys, accountants or professors!), safe working conditions, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in actuarial science, you should take the following courses: Math 221 (Calculus I), 222 (Calculus II), 223 (Calculus III), 501 (Probability), 565 (Math. Applications of Interest and Derivatives); Stat 202 (Basic Stat), 302 (Intermediate Stat), 502 (Introduction to Mathematical Statistics); and CSC 280 (Introduction to Computer Science).
