Careers in Mathematical Sciences

A degree in mathematics opens paths to diverse careers.
Earlier this month, 3 local alumni participated in a panel discussion on their career experiences, applying math to actuarial science, biostatistics, and education. They offered many valuable perspectives and advice for students. Some ideas include:

- Math skills are in demand and can set you apart from the crowd;

- Math courses provide a foundation for reasoning and picking up specific new skills such as in programming;

- Research projects and experiences can be life-changing;

- Be proactive, look out for opportunities and find joy in what you’re doing.

Mahalo to the participating alumni:
Jesse Agustin, Pacific Guardian Life

Kami White, UH Cancer Center

Escape response of copepods

Chelsea Nguyen (math major and Honors student) has been pursuing undergraduate research under the guidance of Daisuke Takagi.
Last week she presented a poster at the Ocean Science Meeting, the flagship conference for ocean science that brings together a diverse group of scientists, engineers and mathematicians working on anything ocean related. Above we see her presenting the poster.
Chelsea received UROP funding for this project.
UROP is currently accepting applications for project funding; the deadline is March 3.
