What careers do you need to know math?

Answer 1

Math is useful is virtually every career. At the very minimum, mathematics develops logic and reasoning, a type of cognitive intelligence that is beneficial to everyone.

A number of careers are more mathematics dependent that others, the list is huge, but I'll name a few:

• Accounting and Finance -- you work with numbers (income, etc.)
• Science (lab techs, researchers, etc.) -- you work with data and equations
• Computer Science and Programming -- coding is heavily math based
• Business Owners -- they need to be able to balance the books
• Sales Positions -- need to be able to figure out pricing and commissions
• Retail Positions -- you cannot rely on the cash register telling you how much change or what to charge
• Construction -- you need to have an understanding of spacial relations (geometry and trigonometry) and how much material to purchase
