<p>I just need to take a linear algebra course and opt one of my electives to be a math course aside from my general degree plan to get a math minor... is it worth it? Would it be useful in anything aside from teaching?</p>
<p>I can see some possible uses if you were gonna learn some more advanced numerical techniques and that's where you were leaning in your major.</p>
<p>It would really depend. It's only 2 classes and allows you to have something additional to talk about in an interview. Meh.</p>
<p>depends on your major, if you major involves solving complex mathematical equations, a math minor is a plus. But if it does not, it is not worth it.</p>
<p>Even if it doesn't, people still like having people that are good at math around. I know I've been in research groups where we've been stuck on solving equations or understanding fully what something meant because none of us had as solid a background in mathematics as would have been useful at the time.</p>
<p>My major is Aero. Engr. Thanks for the replies BTW.</p>
<p>It is good if you enjoy Math and want personal enrichment.</p>
<p>It might give you a slight edge in employment but nothing substantial--most companies hire you for your engineering degree. Also, since most engineers are a class or two from a math minor anyway, it might not have any impact.</p>
