Pure or Applied Math (W/Econ)

<p>I plan on going into business (financial analyst, IB, maybe MS Acct).</p>

<p>I can't decide whether to do Applied or Pure math.</p>

<p>If I went for a BA in Pure Math, it leaves room for a minor in Economics.</p>

<p>My school offers degrees in applied math with concentrations in certain things, like Economics.</p>

<p>Is either of these particularly better/worse than the other? I think the pure math route is a little less rigorous.</p>

<p>And I didn't know whether to put this in Business or Science majors, so cut me some slack, haha.</p>

<p>Could you provide a link to your school’s mathematics major requirements/tracks?</p>

<p>Without a doubt the applied track. It does not make sense to do a pure math degree in order to do business. Pure math is closer to an art degree than a science degree.</p>
