Some of the most common majors students can pair with a math minor include:

• Accounting.
• Biology.
• Business Economics.
• Chemistry.
• Computer Science.
• Engineering.
• Financial Management.
• Physics.

Is a math minor worth it for physics?

The best option for you would be to try to major in physics and minor in maths. This combination will help you to discover the physics much more than a minor will let you. And minor in maths would be sufficient for you to carry out your own research in physics. You can also double major in physics and mathematics.

Is majoring in statistics a good idea?

With an undergraduate degree in statistics, you can pursue opportunities as a data analyst, research assistant or risk analyst. The major can lead you to a career in government, health care, sports, insurance or a variety of other industries.

Should I go for math or physics?

You can’t go wrong learning more mathematics, while studying physics. Major in whichever you enjoy the most. As a physics and math major, I would recommend double majoring in both. Physics grad school requires much more math than a minimum of a mathematics undergraduate degree.

What is the best minor for a physics major?

Maths, Chemistry and computer programming based on your career goals. If you want to be a theoritical physicist, Maths and computer is a good choice. If you want to do research in crystals, Chemistry and computer is a good option.

What minors go well with astrophysics?

This minor works well with majors in:

• Astronomy.
• Physics.
• Computer Science.
• Math.
• Chemistry.
• Geology.

Are statistics majors in demand?

The rising reliance on data and the need for high-level analysis in many industries means that statistics majors are increasingly in demand in every sector.

Is statistics considered a math class?

Statistics is not just a math class. Statistics is all about understanding data – numbers with context and meaning. So, statistics is about taking the information we get from mathematics and interpreting it. You may look at the math behind the information, but only to get a better idea of how to make a decision.

Is a physics or math major harder?

Physics is harder. If you major in physics then you’ll end up taking almost as much math as the math majors. I had to take so many math courses the I figured “what the heck” and took math courses for electives and had a second major in math.

Can I do a minor in statistics with a maths degree?

Yes, as long as you complete all the classes you can complete a minor in statistics together with either our BA or BS in mathematics. Most students doing this would combine the minor in stats with the BA. However please note that you cannot count statistics classes both as electives for the mathematics degree and for the minor.

Should I become a math major?

One question which often comes to mind when considering whether to become a math major is what one can do with it after graduation. There has probably not been a better time than the present to have a degree in mathematics.

How useful is applied math for a statistics major?

Plus if the applied math program at your school is anything like what I’m familiar with, it should give you a good background in applied analysis, etc., which is useful for graduate studies in statistics, if you decide to pursue it.

Is a degree in statistics worth it?

Statistics are an easy sell. It is used very heavily in manufacturing, critical infrastructure (utilities, urban planning, transportation, etc.), and the like. Don’t get me wrong, applied math is also a pretty good degree, but it does tend to be a more esoteric sell than statistics.
