Important Qualities to Acquire after the Degree:

Great in Analytics: A Mathematician needs to be sharp and precise in analysis and they should be comfortable with using statistics for analyzing large data.

Communication Skills: For being a teacher one needs to be a great communicator. The concepts should be crystal clear for the students being taught and the people not having extensive knowledge of mathematics

Mathematics: The most obvious skill to possess is mathematics means a mathematician must have the ability to work on complex problems of statistics, calculus and linear algebra

Problem Solving: Must have a die-hard approach of problem solving. No matter it takes days or weeks the solution should be eminent from a mathematician.
