Statistician

Mathematical statistics relates to the study of random phenomena, and their mathematical modelling, and since everything in the universe (ranging from the weather to the stock markets to the formation of stars) represents an outcome of a random process, this means that statisticians are uniquely positioned to work in many areas of science or business.

Actuary

An Actuary is a professional who applies analytical, statistical and mathematical skills to financial and business problems. This is especially valuable when facing real-world problems that involve uncertain future events or Financial risks, such as in insurance, retirement, investments and risk management environments.
