What religion was nicolaus Copernicus?
Wikipedia information about him indicates that he was Catholic.

What kind of job do a mathematician do?
Mathematicians delve into the most complex and difficult logic and math problems. They also help the financial, biotech, energy and engineering industries and governement agencies beside education jobs where they occupy chairs as professors.
In academy, a B.A. or B.S. in Mathematics cannot pursue professions outright since he still needs some kind of specialization which is mastered after an extended period of post-graduation studies.
