See the other thread referenced in post 3.

If you choose math, note that the math major requirements typically are not huge, so that you can take a lot of math courses as if you were a pure math major and take courses in computer science, statistics, economics, or finance as if you were an applied math major. Although it may be harder if you want to take courses in all of those to maximize job and career prospects…

Another thing you could do is take physics along with math in your freshman year to retain the option of going into engineering as well as math.
