What jobs are available involving maths in the music/entertainment industry?


I am wondering what courses to do at university and am interested in being involved in the music industry. However, i excel at maths, are there any maths related jobs in this area? Thanks!

    Any form of accountancy, sale or buying i suppose – alternatively logistics as that is all maths related. many jobs involve maths at some level – why not see if any of the companies offer graduate programmes

    There are definitely films, television shows and perhaps even plays that have used mathematics consultants. The U.S. television series "Numbers" is an example. This involves mathematics at a different level than the arithmetic you would use in accounting. I am not sure how one makes a career of that, though, because I think they tend to use university experts.
