First of all, mathematics and applied mathematics are basic majors, and the employment prospects are still very good. If you plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you can continue to develop and study in mathematics research, and you can also take the postgraduate entrance examination in pedagogy. You can also engage in other math-related industries, such as education and training, finance and insurance, software development, etc., and do not intend to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Choosing to be a people's teacher is also good, and it will be even more fragrant if you can be admitted to the teacher establishment. According to this senior, their salary is still very good. In addition, we specially recruit students facing Tibet, free of tuition, and work in Tibet after graduation, and the salary is also considerable.
Career prospects
Let's start with the main courses of mathematics and applied mathematics (teachers' class). If you take the postgraduate entrance examination, the most basic and important courses are mathematical analysis and advanced algebra, and the postgraduate entrance examination will take these two mathematics professional courses. But these two courses are also difficult to learn. When I was a freshman, I didn't learn much about mathematical analysis. The pace of the teacher's class is very fast, and I am a little at a loss. Many formulas and theorems in these two courses need to be understood, but they will be used when they are understood. Otherwise, many problems are impossible to start with, and few problems are completely calculated, most of which are proof problems.

Besides mathematics, we have many other courses about teachers' skills, such as three strokes (pen, chalk, brush), teachers' language skills and basic computer courses. We are busy with other things in our spare time, so we have no time to preview and review.
Sophomore mathematics majors include probability theory and mathematical statistics, mathematical analysis 3, ordinary differential equations, complex variable functions, operational research, elementary number theory, mathematical models (mainly matlab drawing and calculation) and so on. There are also some educational courses, such as primary education, psychological counseling for primary school students, child development and educational psychology, as well as C language classes and so on.
There are also discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, educational statistics (mainly SPSS data statistical analysis), geometric sketchpad, mathematics curriculum and teaching theory, introduction to mathematics history, teachers' professional ethics, school-based curriculum development and other courses. There is basically no class in the senior year, and I mainly practice in primary schools to accumulate teaching experience. There is also a mathematical modeling society in the college. If you have the ability, you can sign up for the mathematical modeling competition. In addition, in order to get a degree certificate, our college needs to get a second-class computer certificate and a teacher qualification certificate, with my sophomore schedule attached.
School timetable
Finally, I have some personal suggestions. Mathematics and applied mathematics is a very good major. If you are interested in mathematics and have strong mathematical logic thinking ability, this major will be a good choice, but if your thinking ability is not very strong, you can also develop in the direction of education (I am also in the direction of education). But no matter which direction, everyone should study hard and make plans in advance.
