	Mathematician
		Mathematicians generally work in theoretical mathematics or applied mathematics, and their daily routine is determined by which of these specialties they’ve chosen.
		Many applied mathematicians said interpersonal skills are quite important in mathematics positions, and many wished they had taken more writing courses in college as their jobs require regular reports on progress and development.
		Mathematicians said the best feature of their profession is the intellectual challenge of struggling with these numbers on an everyday basis.

	Mathematician - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mathematician is a person whose primary area of study and research is the field of mathematics.
		Mathematicians are employed by private firms in various capacities or as professors at universities or other educational institutions, by research organizations, or by military or civilian government agencies.
		Mathematicians differ from scientists in that physical theories in the sciences are usually assumed to be an approximation of truth, mathematical statements are an attempt at capturing truth.

	Mathematician - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mathematicians are typically interested in finding and describing patterns that may have originally arisen from problems of calculation, but have now been abstracted to become problems of their own.
		Mathematicians differ from philosophers in that the primary questions of mathematics are assumed (for the most part) to transcend the context of the human mind; the idea that "2+2=4 is a true statement" is assumed to exist without requiring a human mind to state the problem.
		Mathematicians differ from physical scientists such as physicists or engineers in that they do not typically perform experiments to confirm or deny their conclusions; and whereas every scientific theory is always assumed to be an approximation of truth, mathematical statements are an attempt at capturing truth.

	Mathematics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mathematicians explore such concepts, aiming to formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.
		Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics for its own sake without having any practical application in mind, although others may discover applications later on.
		Insofar as a correspondence does exist, while mathematicians and physicists may select axioms and postulates that seem reasonable and intuitive, it is not necessary for the basic assumptions within an axiomatic system to be true in an empirical or physical sense.

	Mathematicians
		Mathematicians also should have substantial knowledge of computer programming, because most complex mathematical computation and much mathematical modeling are done on a computer.
		Employment of mathematicians is expected to decline through 2014, reflecting the reduction in the number of jobs with the title “mathematician.” As a result, competition is expected to be keen for the limited number of jobs as mathematicians.
		In early 2005, the average annual salary for mathematicians employed by the Federal Government in supervisory, nonsupervisory, and managerial positions was $88,194; that for mathematical statisticians was $91,446; and for cryptanalysts the average was $70,774.

	Mathematician
		Theoretical mathematicians most often work in academia or at research institutions to teach and advance knowledge by discovering new principles or revealing previously unknown relationships.
		Applied mathematicians may work in government or industry and use sophisticated mathematical techniques to solve business, technical or scientific problems in such areas as aerospace, computer science, engineering, finance, operations or physics.
		Mathematicians must have a profound understanding of mathematical principles, as well as good reasoning ability and persistence in order to identify, analyze and apply basic principles to technical problems.

	Euclid (mathematician) - MSN Encarta
		Euclid (mathematician), (lived circa 300 bc), Greek mathematician, whose chief work, Elements, is a comprehensive treatise on mathematics in 13 volumes on such subjects as plane geometry, proportion in general, the properties of numbers, incommensurable magnitudes, and solid geometry.
		Probably the geometrical sections of the Elements were primarily a rearrangement of the works of previous mathematicians such as those of Eudoxus, but Euclid himself is thought to have made several original discoveries in the theory of numbers (see Number Theory).
		Euclid's Elements was used as a text for 2000 years, and even today a modified version of its first few books forms the basis of high school instruction in plane geometry.
