If your goat doesn't look like this then you are doing something wrong
I'm about to get an applied math degree with a decent GPA from a pretty reputable school and I can program pretty well (I would guess just as well as most CS majors here, fwiw) plus I have a couple of small projects under my belt. Let's say I want to apply to programming jobs -- how should I best leverage (god, I hate that word) my math degree? I understand that math skills aren't really that important for most programming jobs, but there's probably a couple of niches mentioned in this thread out there like numerical analysis/simulation, which I've done lots of, as well as high performance computing etc., where they could come in useful. Any suggestions?

Also, are there any good books/textbooks/resources out there that I can read up on to fill in the gaps in my CS knowledge, plus not come off as a relative schmuck in interviews?
