ALA Booklist (Sat Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2017)

An impressive variety of math-related careers are on display here, 12 in total, ranging from climate modeling and transportation planning to the more flashy fields of visual effects programming, cryptology, and sports statistics. Part of the Cutting-Edge Careers in STEM series, this book does a good job of getting readers to think broadly and practically. Each general job category gets a two-page spread, with a graphics-forward layout that gives a quick job description, examples of where one might work, and an educational path. Handy career notes, which appear throughout, describe how much time one might spend in an office or traveling or whether a certain job requires giving presentations. The book's information is light but grounded, making it a useful preliminary resource to get mathematically inclined readers thinking about their futures.
