15 year old curious about Mathematics Majoring?

Question

I attend a public charter school in my state. Great school, smart teacher who don't work half butt. I have always been great at math. When i was in 3rd grade i was in 6th grade levels. when i was in 6th grade i started taking the high school level algebra, and if someone told me, i would have been in geometry and right now i would be in Pre-Calculus/Trig.

Especially since Geometry, i have looked at math in many new ways than i ever thought possible. I always take honors classes for mathematics. I am interested in science for secondary favor. I don't know what comes with having a want to see almost to the end of Math. My science teacher has her degree in Mathematics, as well as a lot of my math teachers. I just know something that isn't accounting that i could see career fit to be in with a successful degree in Mathematics. Oh and if you think i'm talking about high school, your in correct, i am talking about college too.

Oh and I'm taking 4 years of science at my school even if they say i only need 3 credits, same for math, i'll take Calculus for the 5th credit with 4 required.

Answer 1

At 15, there is an amazing amount that you have yet to discover. Once you are a senior, you learn what you learn in 10th grade x 4.

If you can handle the following years (everyone struggles with the new concepts, even the smartest ones), then I would definitely recommend you major in Mathematics or even Actuaries (very well sought after and probably the job with the most extensive application of maths).

Btw, with accounting, advanced mathematics does not really play a key role. Accounting is about bookkeeping - grouping transactions, calculating income/profits, checking if correct, processing financial information... very tedious -_-" and not very challenging

Answer 3

Accounting is not a very mathematical subject all.  If you expect this, you'll be disappointed.  In fact, much of business majors do not involve any type of higher level math.  You do need to at least be able to figure out basic things, but it's in no way complex at all.  People who want to incorporate higher level math into business normally major in something totally different, such as statistics, quantitative economics, math, physics, or engineering.  Yes, physics and engineering, as they prep you mathematically which you can then apply into the world of quantitative finance.

So if you enjoy math, you should look into these majors mentioned. You'll have a blast, or you may decide to go into something different.  Don't feel trapped at this point to decide on any one subject.

Answer 4

Increasingly, the number of Math major is decreasing at a time when we need more of them.

Best of luck to you.
