I have come across various resources in Forums and Outside Forums and I have found that Mathematics is the best career in research and jobs. Now I have been very much interested in Mathematics. I have started solving various High Level Mathematics which are out of my syllabus. I am a 12th grade student studying and living in India. I wish to pursue my further career in Mathematics at IISC, Bangalore [Famous institute for physical science and have tough syllabus for maths]. I want to ask question that is Mathematics a really good interesting subject in areas of research and industrial jobs?
First I was very much interested in Computer science and wanted to do Engineering but later I stumbled upon Maths which has changed my mind.
I want to career as to become a Computer Scientist. I would like to know what should be done to acquire that level of qualification. Is Computer Scientist a lucrative career.
Does IISC's Mathematics curriculum suits that qualification [http://math.iisc.ernet.in/courses.htm || http://www.iisc.ernet.in/ug/UG-Math.pdf]
If that does not then I might try to do transfer in Caltech for Undergraduate Major in
Applied + Computational Mathematics, Is that good decision.
And doing MBA after Doctorate is a good career in Mathematics.
Thanks

in advance. Mathematics is indeed an interesting subject with a vast range of research and job opportunities. IISC's curriculum is well-suited for those who want to pursue a career in Mathematics, as it offers courses such as Algebra, Geometry, Topology, Number Theory, Statistics, and Calculus. The Applied + Computational Mathematics program at Caltech is also a great option for those who want to combine Mathematics with Computer Science. Doing an MBA after completing a Doctorate in Mathematics is certainly a viable option, as it can open up new opportunities in both research and industry.
