AWithout reading your post and seeing the title only at first, actuary was the first thing that came to my mind. It's in high demand right now due to this horrible economy. The starting salary (from an artice I read) was about 75,000.

AYES, the most important thing for you to go into this field are a couple things: what you know is more important than the degree, meaning that if you are strong in information systems, software, hardware..etc, you can get into this field without a degree, but you would need to be certified in ms or cisco. The most important thing though beyond this is that you get your degree because the degree will always place a higher standard than those who do not or just certified.I have an BS degree in information technology and I am a banker. I found out through the processes at school that I didn't really have a passion for this field and I love working in the banking industry where I am excelling. Key note: I have so much more opportunity with my company for advancement because I have my degree versus my friends who do not have one.If you ask your friends or other people who have a degree if they are in the field that they majored in college, most of them would say no. Really only specialized professions need that specific degree such as medical, law enforcement/legal, engineering, however your degree would most likely be acceptable for engineering.If you really like computer science, find something specific within that field and be an expert, well rounded balance in the field is ok, but specialized IT consultants are always in demand.Good luck

Aboth are hard either accounting or acturial..when you take math sc, it's means that you must learn science too like biology students..if you take math, its mean that it really pure math..believe me..

AThey should have an actuary program there I'd imagine. It would indeed be part of the math department. As far as preparing you for the exams, that's up to you. It's going to take a LOT of studying either way. Many people have to take the tests several times.

AAnything related to math in my opinion is beneficial to life and future. Math and Economics might be better though...maybe...

AProbably the single greatest paper I have ever read on the difference between US high school maths and professional mathematics is called "A Mathematician's Lament," by Paul Lockhart. You can read a copy here if you're so inclined:http://www.maa.org/devlin/LockhartsLament.pdfIntuitions drive mathematical thought in the common case, but in US high schools, you are often coaxed to abandon your natural intuitions about a subject in favor of explicit proofs and rigorous details. For example: you've presumably seen the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and you've maybe even seen formal proofs of it. But the deep intuition behind the fundamental theorem of calculus is absolutely brainless: it occurs to anyone as an obvious fact of life:The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: "Sums undo differences, and vice versa."If you can pick up on those sorts of intuitions, you're in good shape for mathematics and theoretical physics. Much of quantum mechanics is just linear algebra in funny hats: you just need to say, "oh, these vectors that went like v_i and these functions that went like f(x) were both the same thing -- there's some variable on the inside and I get some number on the outside. And dot products can be integrals etc. etc. There might even be other coordinate systems, other than the x-coordinate, in which we can express f -- just as we can express v_i in rotated coordinate systems." A senior course in transport phenomena can be generally performed by drawing boxes and saying "here's the amount of stuff going into the box in a time dt. Here's the amount leaving it. Therefore, the time rate of change of the amount inside the box is this minus that."Physical intuitions are similar, but they're of a different character. Suppose I ask you, "air is full of these molecules bouncing around -- presumably they hit each other every once in a while, yes? How far does a molecule go before it hits another one?"That's a physical question, and it has an elegant answer. "Well, it's got to be less than one millimeter," I say, "because sound is a phenomenon where molecules bump into each other, and sound passes through my ear, which -- I've seen Q-tips -- must be in the millimeter range or so. If the air were colliding into the walls of my ear much more than into other molecules, the pressure wave would probably have real trouble navigating my ear then."If you can have these sorts of insights on a topic -- any topic -- then that topic is where you should invest your academic interest. It doesn't matter so much how good you are with moving symbols and equations around, and intuiting just what your teacher wants or doesn't want you to do with the formulas in the textbook.

AStart out by finding a professor in the Department of Computer Science that you can talk with about your interests in graduate study in Mathematics. He may have good suggestions. Then find a professor in the Department of Mathematics that you can develop a friendship with and who has an interest in developing algorithms (like creating software) and/or applying recursion theory. Let that second professor assist you. If your focus is on learning more and going into some research, appropriate classes in pure mathematics may be better. If your focus is only on your career, applied mathematics with selective classes in logic and combinatorics will likely be better. Try to take classes good in both areas during your first semester. Some students start in one area and move to the other side after one semester.

AIs this a test question?Three sections on the MCAT - Biological (Biology and Organic Chemistry), Physical Science (Inorganic Chemistry and Physics (General)) , and Verbal Reasoning (reading comprehension)There is no math section on the MCAT however math is incorporated in the physical science section and possibly biological section without a calculator.For more informationI recommend this website which also has a list of topics per section on the test. Access to one free practice test and purchase of other tests and a host of answers to your questionshttp://www.aamc.org/students/mcat/start.htm
