<p>I plan on doing BME and was debating as to whether I should do a math minor on the side. However, a friend told me that a minor is won't help unless it is a specific focus of something your major covers (e.g. Biology with a minor in Bioinformatics).</p>

<p>Is it true that a minor that doesn't relate or only tangentially relates to your major is a waste of time?</p>

<p>A math minor would be worth it since math is useful in so many fields, especially the more advanced you go into the field.</p>

<p>The minor itself is completely worthless, like most minors are.</p>

<p>The information you get out of taking more math classes, on the other hand, could be quite useful.</p>
