Summary

The Second Edition of 101 Careers contains more than 125 career profiles, but even that collection did not exhaust all the interesting career opportunities available to undergraduate mathematics majors. Consider, for example, being a program manager for developing a game at Microsoft (Kathie Flood), working on a submarine launched ballistic missile program (Chad Magers), or developing a model from which to invest millions of dollars (Dan Loeb). Their careers, along with many other new profiles and updates of previous profiles are indicated in the Table of Contents of this edition with a pound (#) sign. These new profiles provide additional evidence of the imaginative use to which mathematics majors apply their degrees.

Additional information about careers in the mathematical sciences may be found at the web site of the Mathematical Association of America at www.maa.org/careers/career-profiles.
