Our graduates are prepared for a wide range of careers, including teaching, data analysis, and engineering. Many continue on to master's and PhD programs in pure or applied mathematics to become renowned mathematicians.

Their Stories

30 Under 30: Brad Kenstler ’15, MS ’17

A NASA weather scientist needs help predicting superstorms? Brad Kenstler can help with that. A football coach wants to know the probability of this wide receiver making that catch? Kenstler can do that, too.

Math Tricks

“My professors taught me that there’s always a “crux” to a problem — one word or trick that makes a whole problem make sense. I try to think of what the “crux” is from the student perspective when I teach.”

Lindsay MacGarva ’11

The Math-Data Connection

“USF offers a variety of math classes and many have been useful in my work at Facebook – notably Linear Algebra. I’d advise anybody wanting to work in analytics to focus on linear algebra.”

Jake Bowen ’09

Pure Math

“Math has a long interesting history spanning thousands of years and we can ask how it has changed over time. Questions like this are what interest me and drove me to study to pure math.”
