<p>At the junior and senior level in college, you will have to do more mathematical proofs in courses like real analysis, complex analysis, abstract algebra, proof-oriented linear algebra, etc…</p>
<p>Many math departments try to prepare students for these courses with:
- a specific proof techniques course at the freshman or sophomore level
- bundling the proof techniques practice with a sophomore level course, such as a discrete math course
- offering honors freshman and sophomore level math courses with more proofs</p>
<p>Math majors’ job prospects tend to lean heavily toward finance and computers. Obviously, taking some applicable electives in statistics, finance, economics, and/or computer science can help here.</p>
