## Undergraduate Open House
## Solve complex problems with numbers
If you enjoy numbers, problem-solving and analyzing data, mathematics is a major for you. You can become a financial analyst evaluating economic conditions to help a corporation make smart business decisions, or an actuary using data to predict health trends for an insurance company. Mathematicians work with chemical engineers to develop mathematical models that further research and development of products, and applied mathematicians collaborate with industrial designers to create the best aerodynamic conditions when designing airplanes, structures or cars.
In the program, you learn about the newest technological innovations used in mathematics and learn how to communicate your research effectively. You gain knowledge and skills you can use in fields such as science, government, business and education. You choose courses in your area of interest — such as teaching, statistics or actuarial studies — and graduate prepared to pursue an advanced degree.

## Alumni Spotlight
### Hitting it out of the park
Jackie Mott ’15 began her career with the Trenton Thunder, the Double-A minor league affiliate of the New York Yankees, in the finance department.
“I’ve always been a Yankees fan, so it’s been an unbelievable experience,” said Mott, who has since been promoted to box office manager.
As a math major with a business minor, Mott brings a valuable skill set to the Thunder. It’s clear she has come a long way since a senior year meeting with Rick DelVecchio, director of career development for the College of Arts & Sciences.
“Jackie was looking at how she could apply her mathematics degree,” said DelVecchio, who had once worked in minor league baseball in Connecticut and Indiana.
When DelVecchio asked Mott about her interests and she said baseball, he knew just what to say: “There are a lot of opportunities to apply mathematics in baseball.”
The first step for Mott was to bring enthusiasm — and resumes — to Major League Baseball’s annual winter meetings in December 2015.
“I had 11 interviews in two days and received two job offers,” Mott said. “You make so many contacts in this business.”
Some of those contacts, including retired Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez, occasionally walk through her office in Trenton.
“It’s fun when that happens … but for the most part, it’s a lot of hard work,” Mott said. “You put in 75–80 hours a week during the season, including games, but I love coming to work every day. That’s the goal, right? I love my job.”
