uhh tumpang thread, a few quick question.

1. how many years does a degree in pure mathematics take? 3-4 years?

2. Which is the more appropriate place to study this, UK/Australia/Singapore? I am pretty sure that local private universities do not offer degree in pure mathematics.

3. Is there a Master in Mathematics? Or must we branch out into other field such as applied maths or what?

Just curious, what job can you get from mathematics degree?

im curious too. im a maths grad. now working in a none related job at all. most of my course mates, including from other uni switched to statistics, actuarial, or even software eng, or any IT related after first year, realizing they'd end up nowhere. however some of us who finished the course had finally secured a place as IT ppl, programmer, etc. (provided they did great on sc comp subjects) while most of them end up teaching. few went to eng. and some got hired as financial analysts.

i used to be interviewed by one big man in one big company in one big industry (non-related) and he told me he's a maths grad, thinking he'd end up nowhere, he switched to statistic upon finishing first year.

my friends, physics grad-find it hard to land a job too. we, pure ppl facing lotsa hardness landing a job.    some dude also badly regret for not doing eng course at the first place. they claimed maths is rather harder than eng. not sure though.

no definite answer.

mathematics isnt like you go to medic school, later become a doctor. or study any engineering courses to be hired by halliburton as a mud engineer  . or study photography course to be a photographer. or do accounting to be an accountant. what i mean is you hardly own the tittle. hehe.

highly likely you'll end up teaching. being a maths lecturer/teacher is indeed good i bet.
