Im not at all math savvy. In fact the opposite. I was having a conversation about math with a colleague and I realized that other than teaching i have no idea what someone with a math degree or a “Mathematician” actually does? Im curious now. Whats their day like? Who employs them?

Mathematician here. My regular job is as an analyst. Analyzing large data sets to identify trends, writing formulas, and yes debating the proper way to calculate metrics with my colleagues.
I do a lot of work related to Lean Six Sigma, which is optimization and problem solving. Mathematicians are excellent problem solvers! We use logical thinking and break down problems into smaller components to identify root causes.
Also, some statistics is involved with creating control charts and calculating the confidence intervals of the analyses.
