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

Chyba Wins Section Teaching Award

Monique Chyba won the 2023 MAA Golden Section’s Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics Award. The award was presented at the 2023 Golden Section Meeting held at Santa Rosa Junior College, on February 25, 2023.

Since joining the faculty at Mānoa in 2002, Dr. Monique Chyba’s classroom instruction, place-based pedagogy, student mentoring,
and community outreach initiatives have impressed her students and colleagues.

“She not only shines individually through her clear and engaging style but also has worked to make substantive changes in the teaching infrastructure at the University of Hawai‘i. Her teaching often extends beyond the classroom through community engagement…(and) in using placebased knowledge to reform the quantitative reasoning curriculum.” — A colleague of Prof. Chyba
