<p>How is accounting related?</p>

<p>Surveying</p>

<p>How is accounting not related?</p>

<p>

Because it typically does not involve very much math…?</p>

<p>Um, yes it does. Have you ever taken an accounting course? It’s all about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Last time I checked, these were all significant parts of math.</p>

<p>I suppose the OP should have defined what he meant by “math related.” Does he mean all subjects studied in a similar way to math, or all subjects that have math as a significant part of their study?</p>

<p>I think the math majors on this board like to make a distinction between arithmetic and math.</p>

<p>And to add to what b@r!um says, so that we math majors don’t just sound like we’re saying “math is something other than numbers and addition” to sound high and mighty, consider that <em>mathematics</em> is the study of geometry, arithmetic, calculus, etc, as well as their interactions in significant senses. This is different from using calculus, arithmetic, geometry facts for your own health.</p>

<p>So a major like economics could actually be math-related, in that it may require (depending on the goal) an understanding of how mathematical subjects are analyzed.</p>
