Re: Math in careers

If you love math then you would like my job. I work on SONAR systems for a living. This is the convergence of graduate level course work in signal processing, detection/estimation theory, array processing, acoustics, multi-target tracking, etc. Needless to say you don't learn all of this overnight! I'm still learning after 15 years... I do algorithmic design so I spend a lot of time with fairly complex math. My engineering friends sometimes laugh at me because I regularly use eigenvalue decomposition and (less frequently) Bessel functions - things they typically never use. I think modern engineering is especially tough since not only is technology rapidly changing but it is enabling historical mathematic approaches that have only been theoretical due to computational load. This causes us to have to not only have to keep up with current research moving forward but also to dig into the past as well.
