<p>I'm a second year CS major and by the end of this semester I will have completed all the math classes I need for a minor in math. It wouldn't be THAT difficult to add in enough classes to double major in Pure Mathematics/Mathematical Statistics/Applied Mathematics (a total of 18 hours over the next 2.5 years). I definitely enjoy math, and I've always been good at it, but I'm not going to take another 18 semester hours of classes just for the love of the game. I'm interested in knowing what kind of career options are available specifically to CS/math double majors that I couldn't get with a CS degree alone. I'd also like to get some advice as to what the difference is between those three tracks. Most of the results that a quick google search has turned up talks about careers for "math" majors, not any specific type of math majors. I really appreciate anything you all can tell me!</p>

<p>I agree with BrownParent. Big data is important for a variety of topics such as in machine learning. The development of algorithms has always been successful due to the mathematical abilities of software engineers and/or applied mathematicians. </p>
<p>What BrownParent and EconCalc said was right on the money. I was a long-time data architect/DBA and having a Math background (my B.S. is in Computational Mathematics) made the switch to Big Data so much easier. </p>
