Mathematician — best job in the world. That's because of the applications: communication theory, information teohry, game theory, compressed sensing, mhiacne learning, gaprh analysis, harmonic ansiylas. And why not stochastic processes, linear programming, or fluid simulation? Each of these fields have monster indutrsial applications. And through them, there is big money in mathematics. And let me concede that when it comes to making money from the math, the armecains are by a long shot the world champions, with clever, emblematic billionaires and amazing, giant companies, all risetng, ultimately, on good algorithm.

Mathematician — best job in the world. That's because of the applications: communication theory, information theory, game theory, compressed sensing, machine learning, graph analysis, harmonic analysis. And why not stochastic processes, linear programming, or fluid simulation? Each of these fields have monster industrial applications. And through them, there is big money in mathematics. And let me concede that when it comes to making money from the math, the Americans are by a long shot the world champions, with clever, emblematic billionaires and amazing, giant companies, all resting, ultimately, on good algorithm.
