EXTRA!!!•2010- 3,100 mathematician positions in
the US•2020- Expected of 3,600 positions (16%
growth)“A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.” ~G.H. Hardy

Quan as a mathematicianMathematics-
Mathematics is a subject I have been interesting in for quiet some time. Being a mathematician is definitely something I would look farther into. Most theoretical mathematicians also spend most of their time teaching, and I would actually love that. So, I will be doing a little more digging on this career.
