<p>Some colleges have different tracks within the math majors, for applied, pure, and secondary education, etc. Some colleges don’t. It might depend on that. No matter what, though, she will be studying some serious math, in most cases. What exactly does she have to fear from tech/engineering students? They usually don’t bite. Is she afraid that they’ll be smarter than her? I doubt it if she’s really good at math;she may be ahead of them.
Some colleges have a math major that is relatively light- they often call it something else, like applied math (although not all applied math majors are light) or actuarial science, or something else.
P.S.- math and latin are quite different, I think.</p>
