He works with two PhD's to assemble <br /> papers for publication, reports for drug companies and analysis for new government grants. Nearly everyday, <br /> Tom is faced with a new programming or statistical problem which he must use cutting edge technology to solve.<br /> In addition to the research which consumes most of his time, he also assists graduate students at USC. As Tom <br /> says, " This feeds myteaching side and gives me a nice break from time to time. I really love my job <br /> and the life style that it affords me."<br /> </li><br /> </ul><br /> <p><strong>Math on the Job: </strong></p><br /> <br /> <ul><br /> <li>As a programmer analyst, Tom spends most of his time solving problems reguarding research projects <br /> at USC. These complex problems entail that Tom uses all of his inuition to take the nessicary steps to get <br /> the job done. This requires the use of abstract thought processes required in theoretical math classes such <br /> as abstract algebra. Along with the skills from his math major, Tom's position requires him to also use <br /> knowledge from computer science classes. The integration of two subjects yields career skills giving anyone<br /> an upper hand in the job selection process. As Tom says, "A programming background will allow you to<br /> adapt and learn new programs and new processes much, much easier than if<br /> you had none at all."</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p><strong>Tom's background: </strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Tom received a BA from St Olaf College in Northfield, MN in the spring of 2002 majoring <br /> in mathematics and economics. After graduation from St Olaf, Tom continued his education at the UCLA school <br /> of public health, receiving a Master's degree in biostatistic. For a short time, Tom worked a production job in which<br /> he had little interest. He was told about a position at USC by the mother of a friend and latter applied for and <br /> received his current job. <br /> </li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <p><strong>Advice for students: </strong></p><br /> <ul><br /> <li>Math is a great subject for all students and, as Tom says, "Math applies to every field <br /> so it's important to have a foothold in as much as possible...My advice to Math majors is to broaden <br /> your horizons when it comes to your education. I was blessed learning at a place like St. Olaf where I got<br /> the liberal arts education and was able to major in both math and Economics." </li><br /> </ul><br /> {{Footer}}</div></div></div> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:23:57 GMT Wiebe http://devel.cs.stolaf.edu/depts/mscs/Talk:EarlyCareers/DowProfile
