I plan to major in economics and minor in applied math and stats to be an actuary. Is applied math and statistics a hard minor?
It depends on your aptitude for and liking of math. If you’re quantitatively oriented and you like solving problems, then applied math and stats won’t be that hard for you. If you struggle with math concepts than it might be. Personally I think APMA and statistics are easier than pure math, but a pure mathematician might disagree with me! It really depends.
