Not everyone who majors in math is studying pure mathematics with the intention of becoming a professor. Math is a huge subject with a ton of areas that are applicable to industry, including: * statistics / data science * machine learning * computational mathematics / numerical methods * optimization and operations research * symbolic computation and computer algebra * data visualization Many of these topics may be taught under the umbrella of a CS department but they’re much heavier on math (and lighter on programming) than what a typical CS student would prefer. At least some of them predate computer science as a field and others developed independently but later took advantage of computers due to their reliance on heavy calculation.
