Anyone who still thinks mathematics is unworldly should realize how practical its professional fields are. Banks and insurance companies, but also logistics and telecommunications companies or software and consulting firms, for example, need specialists with analytical skills who can think in complex contexts and forge solutions that are suitable for everyday use. Mathematicians are also in demand in the field of research and development across all sectors. The prerequisites for this demanding course are abstract and logical thinking skills as well as self-discipline, diligence and perseverance, as studying mathematics is very labor-intensive, especially at the beginning.

The German Mathematical Society offers a lot of information about studying mathematics and the mathematics profession on its website https://www.mathematik.de. In particular, you can find many professional portraits of mathematicians from a wide range of fields at https://www.mathematik.de/hochschule-beruf/berufsportraits (including portraits of Kassel graduates).
