Double Major with ChemE, worth it?

Only double major in Math if you enjoy math. The best way to know whether or not you enjoy math is… well… to try it out. I would do some brief self-study in math if I were you (mathematical logic, abstract algebra, and graph theory are good places to start), and if possible, take a free elective in a “proof-based math course” early on in your college career.

Then, if you like it, you can go for a double major or minor. Otherwise, you’ve learned that real math isn’t for you, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that… in fact, I’d imagine that’s more than most people learn in four years of college.
