THE INSTITUTE OF MATHEMATICS
AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Careers Publications

The following publications are relevant to those seeking advice about careers involving mathematics.

Those who require personal guidance about careers should consult a specialist adviser. Most secondary schools, colleges, universities, and local authorities have careers advisers. The Institute regrets that it does not have sufficient resources to deal with individual requests for guidance.
