Most jobs aren't going to state "requires someone savy in math". Math is
considered a core skill (like reading, writing, etc) and is automatically
expected. You can look at the jobs being offered and with a little
research see if they require someone with your math background. e.g.
medical devices, aeronautics, etc.
