Whether they’re found applying their skills in theory (pure mathematics) or more practical settings (applied mathematics), the primary role of any mathematician is to... well, solve problems.

Fun fact
Probability is a fascinating science. Do you know how many people you’d have to cram into one room just to have a 50% chance of two of them celebrating their birthday on the same day? You’d need 23 people. That’s right. But with 57 people, the probability shoots up to 99%! That’s the Birthday Paradox for you, the work of mathematician Richard von Mises.
