Many students with a background in applied mathematics work in research, development, and consulting in industries such as aerospace (eg. Bombardier), environment (eg. Environment Canada), telecommunications, various financial institutions, energy (eg. various petroleum companies, Atomic Energy Control Board), and software companies.
The healthcare industry will also employ applied mathematicians in order to evaluate the efficacy of a new pharmaceutical product, medical hardware, or improve patient records and information systems.
Some opt for a career in stock market statistics, for example in market analysis, risk analysis, or trend analysis.
Applied mathematics graduates can work as operations research analysts to define a performance or inventory problem. Some of the larger employers of operations research analysts include telecommunications firms, air carriers, computer and data processing firms, financial institutions, and the federal government.
Universities will also hire applied mathematicians to teach various courses in mathematics, computer science, and statistics. As well, with an additional teaching degree, graduate can teach math at the high school level.
A degree in applied mathematics can also be used for graduate studies in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, or physics.
