| From Mathematics Association of America:
Strong math skills are important in many fields,
including of course science and engineering but
also less obvious choices such as business and
economics. Students major in mathematics pursue
a wide range of careers.

Choosing a college or university is a very personal
matter. Do you want to attend a large university?
Stay close to home? Do you want an urban campus,
or do you prefer a small-town environment? You
should discuss these things with your parents
and counselor, talk to friends who have already
gone to college and visit websites of colleges
that you think you might be interested in. Finally,
when you narrow down your choices, contact undergraduate
advisors in departments you think you might major,
and schedule campus visits.
