相信这里的大多数人来奥大读书,唯一不可避免的课程就是Math了,因为它存在于我们生活的每一个角落。学会使用数学工具,不但能够提高抽象思维和逻辑推理能力,还能帮助我们通过计算,测量,统计并进行总结和观察身边发生的一切。总之数学无可争议的就是表达人类尝试理解自然界的工具。
嗯,那么Math的广告就到此为止,现在来说说Math课程的设置。
Math在奥大基本可以分成两类,理论数学(pure math)和应用数学(applied math)
Pure math的分支有 algebra(代数), analysis(分析), logic(逻辑).
分别对应课程:
algebra : 255, 326, 328, 320
analysis: 332,333
logic: 315
纯数学的实用性没有应用数学那么强,对于外行人来说会感觉研究这些东西完全就是在钻牛角尖的感觉,对于内行人来说要么功成名就,否则就是虚度光阴,总之精神上的补充大于物质上的,学纯数的如果不是特别牛的人,最好把它作为兴趣,不要指望它能带给你更好的job perspective, 可以这么说,任何没有现实中使用意义的数学都可归类为纯数学. 学conjoint的同学可以考虑pure math
Applied Math:
对于想把数学作为将来的job,应用数学是最适合的, 它和纯数学相反,研究的是如何应用数学知识到其他范畴,比如金融,密码,计算机等等.
相对应的课程有:
260, 361, 362 , 363
任何在real life中有实践意义的数学,都可归类为应用数学。(没错,密码学是应用数学,纯数的同学不要闹,抗议无效) (-_-;)
对于学习appiled的同学,建议361,362,363一个都不要剩下,这些都是基础中的基础
OK, 说了这么多, 毕业了,我该怎么办?
-- 很好的问题,数学的确不如商科,工科,甚至一些science课容易找工作,但是不代表没有数学的工作, 特殊领域上数学家还是很sought after
比如
Government Departments
CC | Analysts | Qualifications in mathematics, statistics, operation research or economics. | Defence Technology Agency (DTA) | Scientist/Analyst | A university degree in fields requiring good mathematical and modelling skills, for example, physics, engineering, mathematics, chemistry or operational research. | Defence Technology Agency | Scientist/Analyst | At least a master degree in fields requiring good mathematical and modelling skills, for example, physics, engineering, mathematics, chemistry or operational research. | Government Communications Security Bureau | Communication Systems Analyst | Achieved excellence at tertiary level in computer science, electronic engineering or mathematics. A basic knowledge of cryptography and statistics would be an advantage. | Government Communications Security Bureau | Mathematician | Achieved excellence at tertiary level with a mathematics degree (preferably postgraduate). Knowledge of cryptography , computer networks or digital communications would be an asset. | Land Transport Safety Authority of New Zealand | Economic Analyst | Postgraduate degree in economics with a strong background in at least one of the areas of econometrics, statistics and mathematics. | Ministry of Education | Research Analysts | Experience in statistical analysis, investigation and trend reporting activities. | Ministry of Fisheries | Regional Intelligence Analyst | Tertiary qualification, preferably with a statistical and/or information analysis focus. | Ministry of Health | Intelligence Analyst | Have a flair for analytical, research, and statistical type activities. | Ministry of Social Development | Analyst - (several) Forecasting and Modelling Unit | Relevant tertiary qualification, preferably at the post graduate level. Experience in time series analysis and economic, statistical or mathematical modelling. | New Zealand Treasury | Analyst/Senior Analyst - Macro Forecasting and Analysis | Strong tertiary qualification in one or more of: economics, applied mathematics, econometrics, or a closely related discipline. |
Industry and Commerce | Meteorological Service of NZ | Trainee Meteorologists | BSc, BSc(Hons) or MSc in mathematics or physics. | Orion | Network Investment Analyst | A university degree that includes economics, maths and physics. | Pacific Edge Biotechnology Ltd | Bioinformatician/Computational Biologist | A recent degree with relevant biological, mathematical or information and computer science focus. | Rodgers & Partners Consultants Ltd | Business Analyst | Appropriate qualification in mathematics, finance, engineering or science. | Tower Managed Funds Ltd | Actuarial Analyst | Exceptional analytical skills, strong mathematical ability. Relevant degree with good grades in mathematics, statistics or economics and finance. | Weyerhaeuser NZ | Logistics Co–ordinator | Proven analytical and mathematical skills with attention to detail. | Zespri International Ltd | Innovation Analyst | Relevant tertiary qualification and experience in the area of statistical analysis and/or computer science. |
这些只是冰山一角,需要数学的工作还有很多很多,在这里希望并祝福每一位math major的同学,能顺利毕业,找到理想的工作
最后,如果有任何math的问题,欢迎来奥大Math群讨论: 63213587 |
