Perform mathematical work assignments involving a segment of a scientific area, or applied field of mathematics. Apply general scientific theories, and principles of mathematics, as well as the full range of methods, procedures, and techniques, to conduct work assignments. Required to make independent decisions concerning standard practices and procedures in performance of multiple tasking, to make minor modification for work efforts, and to recommend course of action for technical problems which are not covered by standard scientific practices. Perform mathematical work in support of projects and studies assigned to higher graded mathematicians or scientists. Perform a segment of the project or study, utilizing the full range of methods, procedures, and techniques for that specific field of mathematics. Assist higher graded mathematicians or scientists in finding solutions for problems requiring a variety of data sources and scientific disciplines.
