<p>I would like to add a minor to my degree, but I'm having a hard time deciding on one. I feel like having a math minor would give me some extra problem solving/computing skills to supplement my major, but I've always been interested in statistics. A math minor would be a good pace of change with an engineering degree that involves a lot of physics, but then a stats minor would broaden my skill set.</p>
<p>I don't think either one would be a poor choice, especially if you do more applied math in your minor than theoretical. People with solid math skills are at a huge advantage in graduate programs where fundamentals of math and more complex concepts that were tucked away in undergrad tend to come out and kill all of us that haven't had a math class since freshman year.</p>
<p>I think it would be best just to take a few math classes that would be helpful to a engineer, whether that gives you a minor in the end or not. Perhaps a class in numerical computing, another class in partial differential equations, a few more classes in statistical modeling, and some advanced math classes that are catered to engineers.</p>
<p>Assuming one has Calc 1 - diff eq and linear algebra completed, how many more math classes does one need to take for a minor in math?</p>
<p>Two to four classes</p>
