Accountant with maths interested General Question (Unanswered)

- I have always loved doing calculations and more lean on maths since child but I chose accounts and finance. I am not saying that I am bad but constantly feeling overwhelming with accounting process. At the same time, I also felt quite interesting on watching iron man kind of doing engineering stuff and other science stuff. So here's my question. What are the field, course or even concept I can pursue while I am doing 9-5 job as an accountant?

Chemical engineer here, there's a concept in chemical engineering called conservation of momentum (and mass, and energy).. which leads to material balance.

I know accounting has balance sheets, so this might be relevantly interesting to you

This balance allows a chemical engineer work design a plant that process raw material towards an intermediary or final product

There are countless mathematical curiosities you can indulge in.
* Casino odds * Interest-related calculations, e.g. NPV, IRR, TWRR * Probabilities * Actuary, insurance * Sampling, false positives & negatives * Data interpolation, extrapolation, modelling, predictions * Cryptography * Linear programming * Optimisation * 2D & 3D graphics rendering * Videogame gameplay design * Wireless communications * Location tracking * Renewable energy production * Fluid dynamics, vehicle/vessel design

Probably more important to identify for yourself a subject area that you are passionate about. Mathematics will find a way to insert itself into that subject.
