Is a pure math major a waste of time?

<p>I even have a question about this topic…</p>

<p>I think we established in the engineering forum that is would not matter if someone completed a B.A. in Computer Science as opposed to the B.S. (as long as they take certain courses). Can the same be said for the B.A. in Math?</p>

<p>The reason I ask is that, in surveying quite a few of the B.A. in Math programs, I noticed that the B.A. will either require about 2 less math courses OR require the same amount of math courses but allow more math or CS electives. I have looked at some B.A. Math programs and said “Wow…you really can dual-major easy with another discipline”.</p>
