Why do a maths degree?


Student who study mathematics at university are very often seen as purely number crunchers however the truth about doing a maths degree is very different. While being very numerically capable is important in being a mathemtician it is just as important to be a very curious and logical problem solver.

It is a common misconception that a degree in mathematics leads only into a job as an accountant or a banker however the reality is much, much more varied. The skills you develop by doing a mathematics degree are  applicable to many different careers. See the earlier brochure in the post post maths is everywhere to truly get a scale of the true impact mathematicians have on the modern world.
