Mathematicians apply mathematical principles to solve problems
in all areas of the sciences, technology, social sciences,
business, industry and commerce.
A mathematician requires completion of a Bachelor Degree or higher qualification
usually undertaken at universities.
The tasks a mathematician performs are unique to their job
description in each industry.
A mathematician may perform the following tasks:
- apply geometry and calculus to design objects as in
architecture, computer graphics and robotics
- analyse statistics to find models for traffic flow,
insurance risks, consumer research, market analysis and
clinical trials
- develop models for financial markets and products for
financial risk management
- analyse processes from chemical, mining or agricultural
industries by translating them into mathematical models
- develop computer modelling for industrial design
- develop and improve mathematical models to describe
natural phenomena, such as soil erosion, the weather, ocean
currents or biological behaviour
- develop computer programs for use in mathematical
modelling and problem solving
- design computer programs to make and break complex
security codes, or investigate and develop schemes for
information security
- carry out network analysis for the study of road
systems, airline routes, transport and communication systems
- use linear programming for urban and regional planning
- engage in image and signal processing for astronomy,
cartography, medical and radar imaging
- analyse problems from the service, engineering or
manufacturing sectors
- develop communications technology and information theory
- develop new mathematical relationships ranging across
the areas of pure and applied mathematics, statistics,
computing, operations research, commerce and industry
- teach maths in Australia or overseas.
