............. Mathematicians, by training and inclination, are always toying with ideas and are great problem solvers. They are also trained to absorb, condense and resent logically vast amounts of information. For this reason, it is no surprise that they are in great demand in a urprisingly wide range of jobs- in development, designing and research wings of aircraft and automobile industries, as software developers for major computer companies, in financial institutions, in insurance companies and even in law firms- apart from their traditional employment in research institutes devoted to mathematics and physics.
