Mathematics

The professional field of mathematicians is largely industry-independent and is constantly expanding. Core areas can be found in service-sector businesses such as IT, credit, insurance, and finance, in management consulting, in public service, and at universities and research institutions. Companies from areas such as medicine, chemistry, logistics, and manufacturing are also increasingly employing mathematicians. The professional practice of mathematicians requires the ability to structure tasks that arise in the most diverse areas, translate them into mathematical problems (modeling, mathematization), provide mathematical or numerical solutions, and ultimately translate and interpret the results in the language of the user.
