Is it a possibility for a mathematics expert to do well in physics and chemistry?

More than possible. It's a necessity. Physics is very much mathematics. Even the very simplest physics laws like Ohm's Law (3 variables) or the action of a crow-bar (4) are numerical, albeit just simple arithmetic. Chemistry may be less so, but you still need to know at least some maths and have the mathematician's logical mind. In fact there are few, probably no, areas of science that do not use mathematics.

What is the average salary for someone with a bachelor's degree in mathematics?

According to a 2001 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, starting salary offers averaged $46,466 a year for mathematics graduates with a bachelor's degree. http://www.worldwidelearn.com/career-planning-education/engineering/mathematicians.htm#earnings According to a 2003 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, starting salary offers averaged $40,512 a year for mathematics graduates with a bachelor's degree. http://www.jobbankusa.com/career_employment/mathematicians/salary_wages_pay.HTML According to a salary survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, bachelor's degree candidates in mathematics received starting offers averaging $43,304 a year in 2005. http://www.collegegrad.com/careers/proft46.shtml#ear It is very hard to find the average salary for someone with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. Only starting salary can be found, because generally what you find is the average salary for mathematician and it takes PhD in math to become a mathematician. The latest data as of May 2006, shows that the average salary of mathematician is $86,930 an year http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos043.htm#earnings So based on the starting salary of someone with bachelor degree, you can add at least $15,000 to $20,000 an year to get average salary. So based on my estimate the average salary for someone with bachelor's degree in mathematics maybe in the range of $60,000 to $70,000 an year.
