I probably would enjoy scientific programming. Are there ways to find such work without graduate work? I'm open to internships, for example. As much as I'd like to go back to school, I'm not in a position to do so right now. I already have a doctorate in math (and the student debt to go with it!); since my dissertation is in algebra, I *suspect* that there would be applications for it, but since it's pure math, I would *expect* it to take twenty years, or longer, to find that application. Hence, it would be highly desirable to find other ways to pursue mathematical work. :-) Sincerely, Alpheus Madsen. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Richard Esplin <[email protected]> To: Provo Linux Users Group <[email protected]> Subject: Re: (PLUG) Looking for Math Work Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:02:55 -0700 <snip>Outside of graduate work in the mathematics department, math is usually a tool to achieve an end.
