Mathematics

Mathematicians share common characteristics: they think abstractly and intuitively. They are able to represent information and ideas in an orderly, logical manner. They like puzzles - analyzing the problem, backing off, toying with it in their mind and then resolving the puzzle creatively. Perhaps you share some of these characteristics. If so, then a study of mathematics could be both fun and rewarding.

Today, in an increasingly global economy, mathematical skills are important - not only in scientific research, engineering and computer science, but also in finance, government and industrial quality control. Mathematics is the language of a technological world.
