How to combine mathematics with programming?

Question

Programming

Student, programmer.
Everything is very good with mathematics, there are places at international olympiads, scientific work, interest and understanding of the most abstract areas of this knowledge. Progress in programming is slightly above average, mainly due to lack of time. I already see that in industrial programming my talent will not be in demand, and, to be honest, I don’t feel like riveting molds for accountants. I still have a lot of time before graduation, in what direction of IT related to mathematics should I develop in order to be in demand immediately after graduation?

Answer 1

Mathematics is needed in many areas. From GameDev to AI.
Finding a job for a mathematician + programmer is not at all a problem.

Answer 2

You understand mathematics is a tool to achieve some goal.
Programming is a tool to achieve some goal.
Find a target where they are needed, where you can apply your knowledge. I believe that you need to come up with your own algorithms to apply your knowledge - there you will have room to use mathematics.

Answer 3

Look at what is on Big Data, AI. It's boring math. There are also military productions. Only mathematicians take programming there :)
