Mathematics

For this entry I think I can spare you my witty attempt of sharing my idea of what I think about math. I will say this, it is ubiquitous-- there's no way around it and within everything that we do, we deal with  math in some form. It is a pure form of knowledge where other information is based off of it. From numbers to equations, shopping, driving, our paychecks- they all have to do with math. And I'm sure you're aware of this....

Let's just jump in to the reason you are even reading this entry today- What can you do with a math major and why would anyone want to major in it? Well, to answer the second question first, those who enjoy math, understand it, or like to approach problems in a logical, systematic way may excel at math and therefore, mathematics may be a great choice. Because it is involved in everything it is a very versatile foundational area, the first question will be answered by this: there's so much you can do with a mathematics major!
