Mathematicians and their models put man and machines in space, make
millionaires out of investors, and even propel video gaming technology

and high earners. Here are just a few of the places you’ll find them:
Computer Animation; Virtual Environments; Digital Special Effects in
Movies; Space Research; Mathematical Evolution and Modeling; Engineering;
Software Development & Computer Technology; Electronics;
