My Brother am not Into Mathematics but my advice to you is that Companies looking for Employees are more concerned with the skills you can offer not the course you studied. I'll advice you to finish yur course with a Good grade and Increase yur skills. Even PHD holders are looking for Jobs. They are Smart but lack the skill

martowskin1: Hmmmmm.....all I see is venturing into ICT, Venturing into ICT, venturing into ICT, but do u guys knw we have people who studied ICT as a core course in this country?

Where will they now go to? B4 u even learn to write single BASIC statement, this guys ar already manipulating database, writing millions of codes, I can't see how som1 who read mathematics will venture into d ICT world after graduation and be able to compete in the ICT market with one who has being doing it all his life from 100level days even 2yrs b4 getin admission(som1 I knw) .....just saying.

I will advice u, go into where ur manipulation of figures, analytical thinking, will be mostly needed, like d financial world etc

Have said it b4 and am saying it again, with d level of development in nigeria, one should be very careful with the kind of course he/she study.

Nigeria is not just in dat level yet where u read anytin dis universities throw at u.

But is funny to hear graduates say "I don't want to lecture" what do u want to do? Oh....work in an oil firm.

Make we shine our eyes, b4 we go allow soap enter our eye for inside river.

One of The most lucrative job in nija, u say u don't like it.

All man to his own views, no bite pls, dis is hw I see it, is obvious I can be WRONG and trust me, still very CORRECT. That does not mean I can't be corrected or take correction

Peace to d house

I guess u didn't study computer science datz y u tukin lyk dis! No doubt, someone who studied mathematics n wants 2 venture in2 ICT cnt just b able 2 compete wit someone who has been doin it all his lyf. Buh believe u me, a mathematician can do better dan a computer scientist wen it cums 2 programmin as far as mathematician has an interest in dat line!

I miss solving maths.

those days in sch, courses like econometrics, calculus, O R, statistics micro econs used to be fun.

ejim blessing:

Please learn to spell properly abeg! Which one b "mathematicien" again?

miss ITK, it just a mistake, na wetin you see read for there be that.

Guy, quit child abuse. Play with stuffs like -Functional Analysis, Partial D.E, Topology, Complex Analysis, etc. That's what real men are talking about here!

Erroneous!

Do you think those topics you mentioned are harder than some topics in Econometrics at P.hD level. I did Complex Analysis and I can tell you that some topics I tackled in Econometrics at M.Sc level were harder than Complex Analysis. It all depends on the problem you are dealing with.

I for one I am a mathematician, my honest advice for you is to get good grades.

After my graduation, I worked as a lecturer and then got a job as a statistics analyst, after that I worked as a research executive and now I am an account manager.

Symphony007: Wow!! I'm in awe of you mathematicians o. In high school i feared maths more than the devil. Upon graduation, i taught i was free But now i'm studying revenue law and it has come back to hunt me. I wish i could borrow your math skills.

what is this "revenue law"

By the way, complex analysis are termed difficulty because they do not make any sense in real life.

Account Manager??

Sangarara:

Account Manager??

Yes,an Account Manager.

With Mathematics you can never lack what to do.

MoAfrica:

Yes,an Account Manager.

do you get any other certificate apart from your Math Degree?

Please which school did you do your masters in mathematics of finance?

hello landers, pls where can a graduate of ANIMAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY work?

University of Cape Town, South Africa.

Chibenze: As am writing dis post now am currently study mathematics in the university, personally i dnt believe their is no job (no matter the course you are studying), i would have given u fews reason to the best of my knowledge but dat will take much of my time, i dnt like teaching if u tink dats where u end ur career as a mathematician, ones am tru wit my studies am going fully into d computer world. Mathematics is really universal my friend, tink positive thier are 1001 (one thousand and one) place you as a mathematicien can work. Dat my little contribution. PEACE BE ONTO MEN

I agree with you, the best choice u can ever make is to move into d IT world when u graduate, with ur knowledge in maths, u wudn't have difficulties in solving problems- because that's what we do.

shex202: hello landers, pls where can a graduate of ANIMAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY work?

statistics of unemployed youth I guess.
how could you spend 4 to 5yrs without having an idea what the end of the road gives? damn! !

Ok pls i wana know the job prospect of a statistics student we've been talking about maths..am a statistics std 100L

offtopic mate, are you by any chance an old boy? (mbhs?)

Nizstephen: Ok pls i wana know the job prospect of a statistics student we've been talking about maths..am a statistics std 100L

weldone,I'm also a statistician to be by Gods grace next year.
[b]Statistics is a great course with practical knowledge in every human aspect/environment.
After acquiring your B.Sc,you can work as a lecturer if you are kinda sure of yourself,and also if you have the zeal of passing knowledge.
Lecturers in ♍Ɣ school with a Dr title receives at least 180K monthly,which is considerably good with the Nigerian economy.
In Oil and Gas too,there is a place for us in the finance/auditing unit.
In health,there is the aspect of Biostatistics,which in ♍Ɣ own case,i'll be going for the course in ♍Ɣ M.Sc.
Although,I'm not sure the course is available in Nigeria yet
In Banking too,if you can take some certifications,you have the prospect of reaching the top without being a teller or so forever,i wouldn't advice someone to go for this with the Banking sector flunctuations for now,but half bread is better than Nothing.
Everything just depends on knowing what you want and going for it cos you prospects reduce if you come out with a bad grade,aim for 1st class so that if you fail,atleadst u'll be in 2:1 ,that's all i can say here,if you wanna enquire about anyotheer sector i did not mention,quote M̶̲̥̅Ƹ.
Stay Blessed.

I'll advice u if u're still studying to take courses in advanced statistics and ops research with statistics students. If u've graduated do ur Msc in stats.This will help prepare u to work on ur own as a statistician and operations analyst. U can be a statistical consultant to researchers and other R&D dept of mega companies. There are lots of things u can do as a statistician. Statistics solve real life problems. That is where mathematical methods are put into use. People do research work daily and require statisticians to work with them in the areas of questionnaire design, sampling, data collection, data analysis and modeling. Just be very skillful in statistical methods and statistical computing and see how researchers would be chasing after u. They need ur services as a professional who can help them handle the data part of their research. Studying mathematics can never be a waste of time bro! I also studied mathematics & statistics, and currently work for myself as a consultant statistician. Please take my piece of advice.

pls what are the subject requirement for students who intend to study maths
and secondly can an art student do maths in university using art subject combination?

please fellow nairalander,i'm an aspirant who's really interested in mathematics but to avoid confusion of choice,Your discretion is needed on this question....''Mathematics and Mathematics Education,which is better and why?

pls i will like to know more about becoming an actuary. As a major mathematics student at what level would u start the exam and is like how much. THANKS

Well, if you've done a proper course in probability theory up to like 300 level, you can start. As for the cost of exam fees and materials, that would depend on which society you want to join either SOA or IFOA (U.K). But total cost for registration and exams should be around 50k - 60k,that is if you apply for reduced rate

A B.Sc mathematics holder will start at which level, between SOA and IFOA which is more recognise in nigeria or which one would you recognise for someone. THANKS

Both are world class, it just depends on which catches your fancy, I am not too familiar with the SOA although i know they have Exam P, Financial Maths e.t.c. , but with the institute, it's 15 exams to be a Fellow and 12 to be an Associate although 3 of these are practical exams. So if you can go the whole log and you find statistics interesting, you can go for it. But don't go in for the money or you will be immensely disappointed. My 2 cents
