<p>what do people do with this major? are there any jobs for it or do they (app. math majors) all go to grad school?</p>
<p>They probably get jobs similar to ones CS majors get. Also, a fair number of them probably become actuaries.</p>
<p>Look at the website for the Society of Industrial and Applied Math (SIAM). There is a lot of information there for students, including profiles of people who use applied math in their work.</p>
<p>Who is most likely to be successful at an specific job. A Applied Math major or CS major?</p>
<p>Not to be trite, but it depends on the job. If it's in IT, then CS majors would do better. If it's a modeling job, then Applied Math majors have the edge.</p>
<p>Ok thanks Weasel8488.</p>
<p>So if someone double majors in Math and Computer Science, he will have the edge over any CS major or Applied Math major?</p>
<p>Yes I would say so. The question then becomes, "Is it worth the extra effort?"</p>
