Mathematics and Statistics – Resources

↓ ↓ ↓ Skip to Useful Links on this subject ↓ ↓ ↓

What are Mathematics and Statistics

 

A degree in Mathematics and/or statistics is quite broad and equips you with mathematical techniques and tools in either mathematical statistics, pure mathematics, and applied mathematics.

 

Mathematical statistics is mainly concerned with the development and use of probability and statistical methods. Statistical methods can be applied in a wide range of areas such as finance, medicine, science, and business. Basically, statistical methods help us simplify and understand data better.

 

Pure mathematics tools are used to prove theorems that illustrated by problems in computer science, physics, and engineering.

On the other hand, applied mathematics employs mathematics theories and statistics to understand issues in the real world.

 

Degrees in Mathematics have often been described as being extremely hard and elitist. The same can be said of statistics degrees. These assumptions have contributed greatly in scaring most people off. In fact, very few people even consider pursuing mathematics and statistics at a higher level. Additionally, most students looking for a degree major will opt for other degree programmes as opposed to mathematics and/or statistics.

 

There is, however, a simple way of approaching this course. Most people studying languages will tell you that the beauty of a language is not to be found in the grammar, but rather in poetry and literature. The same can be said of a BSC in mathematics and statistics. Level/basic mathematics, which comprise almost 90% of mathematics courses in high school and the first academic year of college can hardly be described as exciting. They should, however, be considered as a foundation on which to build a higher level of understanding. As you progress in mathematics and statistics, you soon discover the wide range of exciting possibilities it offers. The basic rules and calculations gradually become natural and instinctive as you progress. However, it is not be ignored that to successfully pass any mathematics course, one needs to put in lots of time and effort. Most professors advise that you study it full time, as it requires lots of practice and undivided attention.

 

Why study Mathematics and Statistics

There are numerous reasons as to why a course in Mathematics and Statistics would be an optimal choice for anyone seeking to pursue higher education or looking for a major.

As we dive deeper into the digital age, we continue creating huge volumes of data every day. The digital age has brought with it a new understanding of data and an extension, a new and intensified need for statistics. To draw accurate conclusions and theories from data, statistical methods are required. Statistical methods comprise of advanced mathematical ideas and computational techniques.

 

Simply put, Mathematics and Statistics graduates are equipped with numerous valuable skills that are required to develop and implement statistical methods used to interpret data. Additionally, Mathematics and Statistics graduates are equipped with problem-solving skills that are invaluable when it comes to drawing conclusions and forming critical theories from emerging data.

 

A degree in Mathematics and Statistics is also highly marketable. Recent studies show that 96% of mathematics and statistics graduates join the workforce 6 months after graduation, with majority diving into finance and insurance.

 

What you can do with a Mathematics and Statistics degree

There are numerous career paths you can pursue with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics including:

Statician

Marketing Manager

Financial Planner

Actuary

Real estate investor

Auditor

Bank Examiner

Investment manager

 

If you are in your final year in high school and are considering pursuing a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, then you should probably look up the entry requirements of your college of choice to ensure you qualify even before you apply. Remember, however, that studying Mathematics and Statistics requires tonnes of hard work and dedication.
