The careers that often require expertise in mathematics and statistics to find relevant trends and patterns in data are Data Analyst and Data Scientist.

1. Data Analyst: A data analyst interprets data and turns it into information which can offer ways to improve a business, thus affecting business decisions. Data analysts gather information from various sources and interpret patterns and trends. This requires a strong knowledge of mathematics and statistics to interpret this data.

2. Data Scientist: Data scientists are big data wranglers. They take an enormous mass of messy data points (unstructured and structured) and use their formidable skills in math, statistics and programming to clean, manage and organize them. Then they apply all their analytic powers – industry knowledge, contextual understanding, skepticism of existing assumptions – to uncover hidden solutions to business challenges.

Database Developer and Database Administrator, while they do work with data, their primary focus is not on interpreting the data but on the creation and management of databases and ensuring the data is accessible and secure. They do not typically require as much expertise in mathematics and statistics.
