<p>I can complete a math minor if I take 12 credits of any 400 level math courses. One of these 400 level math course can also fulfill a general technical elective for my ME degree. So that leaves 3 extra classes (3 credits each) of 400 level math remaining.</p>
<p>My question is....how good is a math minor? All I have to do is take 3 exta 400 level math courses. I really enjoyed math when I was young and I still enjoy it. Is a math minor worth anything to employers if I have a ME degree?</p>
<p>lol I have the same question</p>
<p>I posted a thread a few weeks or so back about the same thing, just AE. I didn't get much response other than it looks slightly better on ur resume straight out of college.</p>
<p>It can help you if that minor gives you a better background in job you're applying for. Math minor and engineering, computer science minor and engineering, and even an economic minor could help you out. It really depends on the position you're applying for.</p>
<p>I guess I want to do design and analysis with my M E degree. How often will I have to use Introduction to Analysis I, Complex Analysis, Advanced Calculus I, and Advanced Calculus II? Will I ever need to use these? These sound really interesting, and it's all I need for the minor.</p>
<p>The thing about math minors with engineering is that most degrees take enough math that, just like in your case, a math minor is just a few classes away. From an employment standpoint, a math minor won't offer any benefit--it is your engineering degree that will typically get you the job. Also, outside of graduate school studies, you won't really use high-level math.</p>
<p>Yet, since these classes are of interest to you--go ahead and take them, learning something new is always a good choice.</p>
<p>It's true that if you're planning to work after graduation with a 4 years degree, the advanced math wont be much help. However, it does show employers you enjoy solving problems, and that might help you out.</p>
