Mathematicians are employed across all sectors of industry, both in the service and manufacturing sectors. The world of big data is on us, and one of the key skills that the modern mathematician should develop is how to interrogate data and use it to make business decisions. Especially in the world of technology, innovations such as Google (essentially a mathematical algorithm) show us that mathematicians need to understand how to take a business idea to market, in lean way.
This course is unique in that it trains you in both mathematics and commerce, including some of the skills needed for creating a start-up company. For this you will need to understand how an entrepreneur behaves and the planning required to judge whether a product is suitable for market. You will need to research who your competitors are and whether you need to protect your idea with a patent. Other essential aspects of the course include how to create a business plan, how to gain finance and how to market your product. You will learn how to start up a venture, how to create a culture within a group and how to be a leader. There will be the opportunity for you to work with businesses, meet entrepreneurs and even start up your own enterprise.
