Key Facts

Moreover, with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), computational mathematics is more important than ever. Mathematics of AI, a subfield of computational mathematics, uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve AI-related problems, such as deep learning and neural networks. By studying computational mathematics, you’ll learn how to develop, implement and analyse the algorithms and models that drive today’s most advanced technologies.

Career prospects

Mathematicians continue to have outstanding career prospects, as they are highly sought after wherever high-level analytical thinking skills are a requirement. Their potential occupational fields are therefore less limited than is the case with medical doctors or engineers, who specialise in a specific sub-field of their discipline.

Outside of academic and research organisations, mathematicians find employment in nearly all private- and public-sector organisations. Nowadays, mathematicians' work typically makes heavy use of computing technology.

Traditionally, mathematicians are employed in the pharmaceutical industry, in the financial industry, insurance companies, consulting and business intelligence, market research, logistics, information technology and in the research and development departments of high-tech companies.
