List all jobs that use math?

Answer 1

It would probably be easier to list all the jobs that don't require math. Certainly, most jobs today do not require a high level of mathematics. Use of calculators and spreadsheets have made it much easier for people without good math skills to find work. Everyone should know how to use a calculator. The cashier in a store, the janitor, the gardener, the parking garage attendent and many other professions handle money and so basic counting skills are needed. Those involved in business will need to know how to keep a ledger, and compute profitability of their businesses. However, many careers in scientific, technical and engineering areas require high level education in mathematics. Research organizations and universities frequently require MS or PhD in the particular profession as a minimum requirement, in part, to assure that their staff has the necessary skills in mathematics. I will name some areas, that high level of mathematics is necessary: Astrophysics Bioinformatics, genetic research Engineering - mechanical, nuclear, industrial, chemical, petroleum, mining, civil engineering (structural and environmental eng) , bioengineering, operations research, materials, ocean engineering, architecture Statistician- interacting with scientists in many areas, including quality control, market research, economic research, and health fields. Medicine, pharmarcy, health care and epidemiology Economist, financial analyst, econometrics Scientists- Biology, chemistry and physics, and many specialities such as geophysics, environmental scientist, climatology. Electronics, computer scientists, animation. So, math plays a role in many professions. Perhaps not everyone in these professions have a high level of mathematics, but these areas, particularly within research and educational groups require high mathematic skills.
