Prospect of employment direction of mathematics and applied mathematics specialty

Relevant analysis data show that for a long time to come, although the overall situation of employment in China's market presents a "demand-side market" with fierce competition, the employment demand will still be different according to the types and majors of schools. On the one hand, some technical majors are popular, on the other hand, basic majors, such as Chinese, mathematics and applied mathematics, are relatively scarce. According to the forecast of the Ministry of Education, in the next five years, the gap of senior high school teachers in China will reach 1. 1.6 million, among which the demand for teachers in basic disciplines such as mathematics and Chinese is the greatest. There is even a shortage of math teachers in many cities and counties in Guangdong Province. The statistical analysis of the talent market in 37 large and medium-sized cities in China shows that math teachers are very popular. According to Education Digest Weekly, there will be 48,890 graduates in Beijing, among which mathematics and applied mathematics are among the top ten majors with the largest number of graduates. Shaanxi, as the bridgehead of China's western development, will have an increasing market demand for mathematics professionals. From the above data analysis, it is not difficult to see that the demand for mathematics talents is large and the employment prospects are promising. Moreover, it can be predicted that with the development of economy and society, there will be more and more demand for mathematics and applied mathematics professionals in the market, and the employment prospects will be broad.

Mathematics and applied mathematics are basic majors and "parent majors" of other related majors. Whether it is scientific research data analysis, software development, three-dimensional animation production or financial insurance, international economy and trade, business administration, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, communication engineering, architectural design, etc. , can not be separated from the relevant professional knowledge of mathematics. Professor Wang Xuan, academician of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering, sent a message at the unveiling ceremony of Founder Software Technology Research Institute in Peking University. To become a qualified software talent, college students need "solid mathematical skills" and "strict logical thinking ability". Strict logical thinking ability comes from a deep and solid mathematical foundation. It can be seen that the majors of mathematics and applied mathematics are the basis for engaging in other related majors. With the development and popularization of science and technology, the relationship between mathematics major and other related majors will be closer, and the application of mathematics professional knowledge will be more extensive. According to the analysis and demonstration of relevant experts, the characteristics of talent employment in China in the future are: on the one hand, the specialization and professionalization of employment formed by the increasingly fine social division of labor (engaging in a fixed occupation all one's life), on the other hand, job-hopping and career re-selection brought about by fierce competition and changes in social needs. The change of occupation needs to rely on some basic professional knowledge in order to make an effective transformation. A sample survey of 230 successful people in IT industry by relevant experts shows that 87% of them rely on mathematics or related majors to realize career re-selection. Because mathematics and applied mathematics are closely related to other related majors, there are many similar majors to choose from, so it is much easier to apply for this major than other majors, and it is much easier to re-choose a job and change careers, which is conducive to better employment in the future.

With the reform of education and personnel system and the full implementation of teacher appointment system, the source of teachers in ordinary middle schools is breaking the geographical boundaries of the industry. Broadening the channels for teachers and recruiting teachers for the society has become an important measure for the reform of the education and personnel system. This undoubtedly provides a great development space for applying for the employment of graduates majoring in mathematics and applied mathematics in comprehensive universities. At the same time, with the continuous updating of educational content and the increasing diversification and modernization of teaching methods, the requirements for mathematics teachers are not only increased in quantity, but also improved in quality. The traditional mode of training foreign teachers in normal universities can no longer meet the demand of modern education for compound talents. Comprehensive universities have unique advantages in subject resources in cultivating compound talents. Applying for mathematics and applied mathematics in comprehensive colleges is not only conducive to career choice in the future, but also conducive to personal development.

The gradual rise of family education also provides an important employment channel for graduates majoring in mathematics and applied mathematics. Because the math tutor requires higher professional knowledge and teaching guidance art, it is difficult for parents to operate or take care of it, so hiring a math tutor has become an inevitable choice for many families. According to the national 106 survey of tutors in large and medium-sized cities, mathematics tutors account for an absolute majority, reaching 83%. According to the prediction of relevant experts, in the next 5~8 years, math tutor will become a special profession and be welcomed. Taking tutoring as a profession is bound to be promising.
