Double Major with ChemE, worth it?

Ya, those are the proofs I was thinking of… I didn’t like those very much.



However, you mentioned graduate school. I think the best course of action is to instead supplement your ChemE degree with bits and pieces of Chemistry and Math that might be pertinent to your research.



I feel that you are right in this. I imagine instead of taking one main focus in Chem or math, it might be better to take parts of each to help with the main subject I want to go into.



there is a stark difference between AP Calculus and a Math major. As no imagination hinted, you must be ready to tackle proofs and non-calculus topics if you want to major in Math.



Ya, that’s why I was leaning away from my original math major idea. I really enjoyed the stuff in high school, but that is probably very little compared to what is necessary in a math major. I don’t really want to make myself go crazy with an engineering major PLUS a math or chem major. Thank you for all the input!

I think it might be better to see how college is actually going and then to decide if I want to do anything extra. I can say as much as I want now, but who knows how I will think in the future. Thanks again everyone!
