I’m a math major (4 year bachelors in maths, 2 years masters in comp science). I did maths because I liked it. But I think it’s quite difficult to get work in a math related field. I became an IT project manager and have done quite well. I’m about to retire. Recently I’ve started studying maths again (set theory and logic to start) and thoroughly enjoying it.

Hey man, brazilian pure math major here. I've watched your intro to topology video a while ago... Subscribed because you seem like a nice guy with love for math. I'm glad you are uploading more here. For me, the main reason for a math major is the power that you get... Everything uses math in a certain level. So if you master yoursefl in the analytical thinking and problem solving, you have a solid background to learn almost anything! Thanks for the video mate.

People study math out of masochism.

I am one of them.

Same here I’m a math major so I can teach😃. Math always has certain steps to follow with clear cut answers that other majors or jobs seem to lack(IMO)

2:06 - Sadly most normal people forget that math is part of STEM and just focus on STE

I am majoring in mathematics for actuarial science or becoming data scientist

I am pretty much good at everything but I am passionate about nothing. Not my dancing, my piano playing or French even though I love the language. The only thing I am interested in even a bit is maths. I like how logical everything is and how math can blow your mind time and time again. Honestly I don’t know what to do in the future since I am only in 10th grade. I can’t see myself doing the same thing for the rest of my life and my parents say math will allow me to go in many different directions. I hope I can decide soon on what to do in my life. Great video :)

I sometimes regret switching my major Math/CS to something I equally love, but mathematics is far more gratifying. I still read textbooks and love them. Professional student.

Can you make a video of what courses you thought was hard during your degree? I really want to know what kind of courses are waiting for you later on.

[Squire]

You are on fire!! Loving the daily uploads :p

For me solving computer science problems was a motivation, all tech base models are based on high level of analytic or other field of math. for me designing better and more accurate algorithms was the first reason to start a master in pure math which you mentioned in your third reasons to have a bachelor degree before and have a good base of math for chemistry or physics or ...
And specially I like to solve conjectures in the future!
I don't know if I could be a good teacher or professor but I definitely know I should train people to do some thing with what I train them and I better be expert in that.
I mean I had not figured out how are homotopy functions are guessable in hard unpredictable situations, but if I teach algebraic topology I better find plenty of those topics useful for at least making the base of a new tech or understanding the mechanism of a model better or help me solve some sort of math proofs!

thanks for the inspiration. bout to take real analysis this spring.

I envy the European students who get to study analysis and algebra in their 1st and 2nd year :v

I’ve been thinking of getting a math degree for the following reasons: I was a double major in criminal justice and philosophy (attempting to become a lawyer), but only got the crj major, and left school to become a law enforcement officer. I have since left that profession and joined the military. I have a great tuition assistance program and GI bill to pay for one bachelors and one graduate degree. I like the idea of a math degree because I have become very interested in math philosophically, and really appreciate the analytical characteristics of the profession. I also love logic, my favorite part of philosophy. I might use the math major to finally get my law degree (math majors score really high on the lsat), or pursue a career in math or stem field. I’ve been out of school for four years, and might be having a pipe dream, but yeah- any advice? I saw your 4 reasons not to get a math degree, and I am still wanting to get one.

I am taking math major to pursue M.s in Cs. The reason I choose it’s easier to finish than Cs

[noosurprises]

I plan on being a math major just because I like math. I haven't done anything past Calculus but so far it's really fun. I think i'll like the more abstract stuff but I can never be sure until I try. Also I have no clue what career path I want to choose besides NOT wanting to be a teacher which is kind of annoying since everyone expects me to have a career in mind already for some reason, but I still have 4 years to figure it out so hopefully I can

[fidconcerto]

This is very helpful! Thanks for sharing! I would like to watch a video explaining the applied math major, hope this will be considered

[ErrorHRD]

I don't necessarily like abstract concepts, but if handled well, I find them enjoyable enough. Math is an art form, just like blowing stuff up is in chemistry(though that is sometimes more illegal).
Besides, if I decide that I don't like it, I'm still majoring in Chemistry, and I was looking into Genetics if I desperately need a double major.

Ive been binging your videos lately, and after hearing you define “higher mathematics” I had a genuine epiphany on my relationship with math.
