I think with a math degree it’d also be just as acceptable to get a minor where you can learn skills to apply your math skills better. Some programming skills, or some business skills is also just as good. It will probably cost you less and take you less time also, depending on your program and all that
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
Depending on how deep you want to go, I would say that a Maths major is anywhere from above average difficulty to the most difficult degree (I would argue that the most difficult mathematics courses, especially the graduate level ones, are on the same level as the most nipicky engineering courses or theoretical physics courses. But a lot of programs allow you skimp on the more pure courses, so a math major doesn't have to be too hard).
Due to overlap, Math and Physics is fairly doable, but basically only makes sense if you are eyeing grad school. Math + Econ. and Math + Comp. Sci. are probably the most common combinations that makes sense both for getting a job out of undergrad and for going to grad school. If you want Math + Stats, you can probably just minor in one of them.
~A graduated Math + Chem. double major (only makes sense for grad. school, lol, but I liked both subjects a lot).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Aidan
Economics and Math is a good dual major. Especially if you go onto grad school for economics, you will see it more clearly. One of the reasons is linear algebra. In a subject called econometrics, linear algebra is a must
Or vector calculus, especially in the hypothesis like the life cycle.
@@PositronQ does a regular BA in economics require a lot of math?
@@jahhaj1020 it's not as involved as in graduate school but you still need a decent understanding of Math to be able to read graphs, etc
Right Alex
As someone who in high school loves all math, computer science and software engineering SEVERELY, I take this as BIG win!
Video suggestion: Top 10 hardest degrees overall (though this is highly debatable I guess)
you cant just judge them, you gotta have tried 10 to judge, but no one has changed 10 times
Gosh I wish double majoring in math and stats was an option for me XD There are so many overlapping classes that would have made this an easier double major than others. But my university knew this and so it wasn't allowed. When you become a math major, you have to pick a subplan of pure maths or applied maths/stats. You can't pick both. My school really makes sure that double majoring is nearly impossible if not incredibly difficult to do. So sad.
Thanks for sharing that Angel
Some schools offer Math/Econ as a single joint major. It is important to note that Graduate level Economics are very math heavy, so you generally need a lot of Math coursework to prepare for graduate school. Basically what I'm saying is that a BA in Econ alone will not prepare you for grad school. You either need to double major or minor in math.
Thanks for sharing that Anthony
@Kian Naicker Economics is already a generally stable degree, and the math helps in quantitative analysis
I’m looking at either electrical engineering and applied math or economics and applied math which do you think is vetter, im farther along in the math side of things at calc III. And have just started taking engineering physics and macroeconomics
The best double majors for math degrees are disciplines that are math intensive.
Right
Not necessarily true. A philosophy degree compliments a math degree well.
I’m a Econ math double major. I go to UT and we don’t really have a stat department so our math degrees can cover stat and math concepts pretty well.
I’m thinking of doing double masters applied math and economics. What are your experiences with it. I want to focus on the financial/actuarial side of things . But an economics background would well suit my poli sci background
@@jmccullough975 It's pretty difficult but possible if you give yourself enough time to learn the information. I'm starting a double master in statistics and economics next spring semester. High level econ in my opinion gains more from high level stats. If you wanna go the math route I would pick up topology, analysis and graph theory (listed in order of importance). If your program has electives get some data sci and stats to round it out.
@@lapizza7206 i wanr to be a quant tho. Wouldnt stochastic calculus and partial differential equations and all the high level math work better with a math degre than a stats?
@@jmccullough975 Hm I'm not sure from my understand stats is better for actuary but math majors can definitely do it if you're willing to put extra time into. I'm not sure what a quant is though so really you might know more then me! I'm planning a PhD and wanting to go into investment or consulting so that is really were my headspace is.
@@lapizza7206 Mathematical finance, quantitative finance , financial engineering is the area of finance in which intricate mathematical models are used to predict markets, set prices, enhance returns, and manage risk. MF professionals are known as quantitative analysts ("quants"). Front-office quants work on the floor with traders and sales representatives developing price-setting models, supporting the development of risk strategies, and spotting new investment opportunities. Mid-office quants assess different assets and markets for risk, keeping traders and sales representatives in check. Back-office quants develop complex mathematical models used to program automated electronic trading platforms.
i hate math but i'll watch this for shane lol, tbh im asian and i know this channel is for US students but IM STILL WATCHING IT LMAO , shane's videos are very interesting and informative to watch so that's why. im really grateful there are channels like this, im sure your channel will grow shane!
btw i know you're doing the 30 day challenge and all but take care of your health❤
As some one who double majored in math and history, I would definitely encourage would be math majors to diversify their skill set. Probably not with history (though I definitely stand out with my background), but being on the top half of that average salary requires offering more than other math majors. This could simply be being the best at math, but good written communication skills and a knack for storytelling can really provide value to an organization which is unsure about what exactly mathematical analysis means for them.
What do you think about math major with minor in creative writing?
@@issaissa4974 Well, since you asked, my first thought is that's a great compliment. Just remember, its not the major that provides the value, but the talent it might represent. So, you better be able to showcase your math knowledge in interviews and come across as a clear communicator. There is also some risk that hiring managers might think you can write fiction, but not business style communication, so be prepared to discuss how your major has trained you discuss complex topics in a concise and clear manner.
Great video as usual, as a high school junior I already know I’m going into cs but I might consider a math dual major, or some kind of minor along those lines, I’d really appreciate if you made a video of what minors go well with cs!
Hey Michael, how are you doing now?
Hi. Love your channel!!! A couple of questions:
1) Is physics a natural science or mathematics degree? (A.k.a Is is the ‘S’ or the ‘M’ in the acronym S.T.E.M?)
2) And how about computer science?
3) Also, would you recommend double majoring in these 2 subjects?
Science
Technology
Engineering
Mathematics
I know this is 2 years ago but this is for those that will see this comment.
1. is a natural science but Mathematics is used to describe the phenomenon's. In a way Physics could be seen as an applied mathematics to the natural world. The things Physicist work on are outside of pure maths. They may work on Condensed Matter with microchips, Bio Physics, Laser/optic tech for Defense contractors, or research on Fussion energy for some examples.
Theoretical physics is a natural science as it can only be used to solve problems in other natural sciences (i.e biology, physics, or chemistry). Theoretical/Pure mathematics is a math degree because it can only be used to solve problems in other math degrees (math and statistics).
Computer Science is a technology degree because theoretical computer science can only be used to solve problems in other technology degrees, however, this is actually starting to change and you're seeing more and more theoretical computer sciences become much closer to Mathematics than anything else. But for now, especially at the undergrad level it's a technology degree.
I would personally not advise double majoring in those 2 subjects unless you are in one of the following groups:
1: Wanting to get a doctoral degree in physics (as once you're done with that and you begin conducting original research you need an extensive background in comp sci so you can create models of your research before you start it for a more accurate hypothesis)
2: Really, REALLY love both degrees. Most jobs are honestly fine with one or the other degree since comp sci is often too theoretical for most jobs and physics is even more so. Jobs are hiring you because if you have one of those degrees you're probably smart and know how to code.
Generally, getting 2 STEM degrees isn't the most useful thing in the world unless maybe if you're a pure math major? Since once you get to the level of maths introduced for pure maths it becomes much closer to philosophy than anything computational.
If you really love both physics and comp sci, a much better option might be to get a degree in "applied" mathematics and then see which fields you want to go more in depth in. Applied maths will give you a much, MUCH, broader skillset in every field and oftentimes will include all of the knowledge needed to get a degree in physics, computer science, biology, chemistry, engineering, and more. The reason why it doesn't take as long as those majors is because applied math usually doesn't teach you the derivations, proofs, and concepts behind each of those majors.
An applied math major or its cousins: engineering physics or engineering mathematics are pretty much the closest you can get to a "sampler" of every STEM major and it's viewed very highly for jobs that ask for interdisciplinary knowledge that might not be typically taught to the average person with a major (example: Bioinformatics requires knowledge of both biology and statistics, however, most bio majors and most stats majors don't really take that many classes from the other's pool)
AYYYY i was waiting for this vid!! Thanks shane!!
💪💪💪
Welcome Naasik
For me statistics and economics had a huge amount of overlap. I'm getting the economics double major for about 14 extra credit hours on my statistics class. It wouldn't even had slowed down my graduation, it just replaced some useless gen eds
Thanks for sharing your views
Mathematics and Statistics ❤❤❤
Can you do one for best double degree science majors?
Yup! Coming up.. Make sure to hit the notification bell
Still waiting for Biotechnology
Stay tuned
Hi Shane! I really love how informative and interesting these videos are! Would you mind making a video about majoring in Public Health for undergrad? I’m considering majoring in this and then hopefully going to PA school afterward. It really interests me and I would like to know how applicable and useful this major would be. Thanks!
Wow thanks so much Shane! I’ve been waiting eagerly for this one :D
Welcome
I double majored in math and physics then went to get a masters in EE. I faced a lot of prejudice in the industry by hiring managers, only the ones that wanted to get things done gave me a chance, most of them thought I would ask for a lot of money or take their jobs. Double majoring in math and physics isnt that hard, I did it in 5 years. All the lower division math courses overlap and the math major is not a lot of courses, it is only about 70-80% of the physics course load. The physics major was intensive though. I had some really smart peers that went on to get their PhDs and become professors double majoring in math and physics and taking only 4 years to complete. In fact, I was the worst one out my group of peers.
Very much understandable to as how double-majoring would open a lot more doors to potential career paths rather than obtaining a degree in just 1 specific major. Now I will be majoring in Mathematics at Concordia University (Nebraska) this coming fall semester and I know minors are no where near as recognizable as a major however, would what I choose to minor in paired with Mathematics (Math major + Marketing minor) help me rather more in specific areas? I guess what I am trying to ask is, would a general employer(s) recognize the area in which I minored in also or do they typically not care about that?.. sorry if I am not wording this in the best way.
Was this upload an accident? 2 vids in one day? 🤔
Gonna have to move the other video for Thursday 😅
I was just thinking about this, you are a life saver thank U
great video man
wholeheartedly agreed especially on maths vs business students college lives
subscribed 😊😍
So true!! Nice content friend! 💕🐯💕
Applied Mathematics Degree has Stats, Stat 2, continuous and discrete modeling, Ops research, time series…. All applicable
Still waiting for Artificial intellegence dude
In my personal view, this is too narrow for an undergraduate degree.
Cognitive Science degree
Noted Tamer
Not sure if ppl will answer but: double major in math+international Econ, interdisciplinary math and Econ, or international Econ with a minor in math. I’m 52% done with international economics and only 29% done with math+Econ interdisciplinary (I’m a freshman). I can always go to grad school to advance any of these
Can we get a video on the Cognitive Science degree?? Ive been super interested in it ever since you mentioned it a while back but I wanna know the Shane stats on it 😂
Haha stay tuned for it
What do you think statistics and data science??!
Me a 3rd year mechanical Eng student starting a Bsc in maths and phyisics. *chuckles im in danger*
Genius
Me realizing that Shane uses the same 6 pictures for thumbnails
lol
Yay! It's here!
Right now, my grades for Physics are excellent, but my general education classes are not as impressive this year. Plus I think I bit off too much since I took 5 classes this fall semester, so that was too much and I got a high B on both Math classes. Hopefully I won't do that again this time by taking only 4 classes instead.
Just hoping that my Fourier Analysis class grade won't drag my math GPA down.
Btw, thank you so much for posting this video! I completely forgot to thank you for it, Shane!
Hey Jessica! Thanks for watching
I double majored in math and physics then went to get a masters in EE. I faced a lot of prejudice in the industry by hiring managers, only the ones that wanted to get things done gave me a chance, most of them thought I would ask for a lot of money or take their jobs. Companies that are just maintaining products that are selling because competition is low in their sector will have hiring managers wary of people taking their jobs and paying more for the position. So overqualified becomes an issue. I had the most success in academia and engineering consulting because your credentials is what they value, no egotistic hiring manager career blocking you, because credentials gets them more clientele.

All the lower division math courses overlap and the math major is not a lot of courses, it is only about 70-80% of the physics course load. The physics major was intensive though.

Welcome Patricia
im a physics and math major.
BSc in Math/Actuarial Science or Math/Finance. ❤
Any chance you can do a video on age statistics? How do I know if I’m too old to pursue the type of school I’m interested in?
Imo it's all about internships then degrees
What about Computational Applied Mathematics?
I'm doing this or well something really similar to it. My school offers Computation Mathematics: Computer Science!
Still waiting for a Business Analytics video
hang in there
Isn’t business analytics a masters degree?
@@JimRohn-u8c They are offering it in some colleges including mine at a bachelor level.
What do you think of applied mathematics and it’s job prospects?
CS and applied math go very well together. They also overlap a ton in coursework.
Two videos in one day?! This is amazing 😄!
😅
thx for these vids bro
Welcome Shaw
Make about molecular biology
Noted Roet
My uni will start a biomedical math graduate program. What are your thoughts, i would like to know.🙃
In my opinion, it depends on what the program actually consists of. If the degree is literally geared towards math for the biomedical field, that might be too narrow.
@@randomperson5852 aha, thank you for your opinion, haven't thought about it
I might discuss that Aida.. Stay tuned for it
@@ShaneHummus staying and waiting😁
finding work after computer science really puts inti oerspective just how little you guys earn. It's shocking considering how difficult this major actually is
I Enjoy maths a lot but I don't have the programming background in CS. However demand for CS is high that can open more job opportunities for the future. Should I major maths with computer science.??
Great Video. Can you do The Best Major for Computer engineering major?
Love your videos. Look into DNP( doctor of nursing practice. Minimum degree for nurse practitioners by 2025. Doctorate prepared NPs on average gets about 20,000 more than masters prepared. A really good doctorate for great money right out of school. 120,000 average salary
Thanks for sharing!!
The best double video in UA-cam
lol
Sorry Shane, we math majors are lost.😂
😅
What do you think of a statistics major + minoring in Computer Science and Economics? Should I substitute economics with finance or business? Should I do none of these?
Hey Shane and anyone in the comments know what Operation Research(OR) is?
After watching your videos all my ads are degree related, lol.
Would you consider an engineering and business double major to be good or bad?
Engineering and econ is a great combo
I don't really recommend it. Engineers already have great job opportunity (because engineering is one the most sought after skillsets in the market currently) and often develop business skills on the job. Double majoring in engineering and business would be redundant. Plus, engineering is one of the most difficult majors there is, so double majoring alongside it would be killing yourself mentally. Electrical engineering is probably the best engineering degree at the moment.
I have a video for that. Stay tuned for it
How does a major in Operations Research and minor in Comp Sci sound?
I might discuss that
Hey Shane still waiting on that physics major video ;)
Stay tuned for it
Wow nice vid
How can you become a computer network architect with a math and business degree? On bls it says that most have a technology degree
Lots of math majors go into the technology field, the skills are really adaptable
@@levibeam100 would you have to teach yourself those skills/take extra courses in that? I can understand going into that career as a math and cs double major, i just don't get math and business double major being able to go into that field
@@jahhaj1020 you would have to do a lot of extracurricular learning for programming/algorithms since i dont think that is in a maths degree. However you can learn that stuff on the job if you're smart enough (i would recommend learning programming in your own time before going into a job)
@@jahhaj1020 Most likely have to teach yourself the more complex skills, but math skills are just super adaptable whenever it comes to programming. For example, Structures, matrices, logic, and tons of other skills you learn in mathematics. And while it doesn’t 100% teach you how to program, those skills are uses in programming all of the time. So lots of skills you use, especially for math heavy software development such as machine learning, is used a ton. Just a math degree alone can do it.
And while a business degree won’t help you in a technical way, companies love people who have business minds. In the long run, software engineers are hired to make the company money. Not just engineers. But almost all jobs that is the case. Having even a base knowledge of understanding how the business side of things, along with a technical skill such as programming, the skills are irreplaceable. It’s one of the reasons why a degree such as Information Systems is so valued. It’s half a business, half a technical degree. Business skills + a skill whether that be programming or something else that will make a company money is a great combination. So while a business degree might not exactly help you in your job, a business degree or just business skills in general can really help get an interview. And can even get you a job in some roles.
It’s pretty much a meme at this point that Shane mentions that it’s pretty much a meme at this point that he mentions computer science at least once a video
If you want to double major in maths and physics, why not just go for engineering? 😂😂😂
maybe because research is the coolest job ever?
@@audreyandremington5265 research?
Good point 😂
People are saying research, but engineers do research too. For chemical engineering, our research overlaps a lot with biology, chemistry, and physics. Mechanical and electrical have a lot of physics overlap. Not sure about anything else, but my point is that most research is interdisciplinary and engineers are doing that same research as scientists
There is a considerable difference, altough if I recall correctly theoretical engineering exists
When it comes to college when is it the best time to start getting internships like after freshman year or after sophomore year?
Start looking immediately.
Wow 2 vids in one day
Going to rescheduled the other one
How about Statistics and operations Research?
Why did you upload two videos today?
Moved the other one to a later date. 😅
I am just watching your videos looking for help. I am going to a community college as its cheaper and getting an associates in Nursing and Education. Well for my bachelors I am thinking of double majoring with biochemitry and mathmatics, is that smart? I am then if that is smart going for a pharmaceutical science PhD.
Thanks
Welcome
BUSINESS NEXT PLS. LOVE U
Yup! It's coming up
This might sound funny, but I majored in math because I thought engineering and technology was too practical.
If a degree is practical all the more reason to get it. Practicality is good for a degree, your reasoning is shit.
Yeah honestly Im doing that too
the tab source lists finance and psychology twice as well as looking like a bs source to begin with
I agree, I haven't been able to find a good source on the difficulty of different college majors. Dropout rates is a decent way of looking at it, but there are many reasons that people drop out other than how difficult the major is.
@@ShaneHummus maybe a ranked list is overdetermined and simple generalizations like engineering is usually harder would be better.
Is mathematics/computer science great double major choice?
Just watched a few minutes of video and saw mathematics/computer science double major. I'm happy to see that something that feels very relateble to me is also well payed sphere .
Before I go to college I will make my path easier by learning programming from now on the internet. I think that internet programming learning services aren't very good but at least I will some sort of prepared.
If only double major thing existed in my country.
I’ve always wondered, has anyone made a pun based on your name?
Yeah that it's delicious and it's made of chickpeas lol
@@ShaneHummus yea
Can you do best buisness double majors
Yup! coming up
@@ShaneHummus k Thanks Shane
Major in Applied Math instead.
I double majored in quantum mechanics and auto mechanics :)
Wth is auto mechanics? It sounds like you fix cars
@@yt_nh9347 It's a joke.
@Fihlippe Luhis It's a joke.
😅
that’s crazy how I am a college student who can’t afford to save $10 a day
Engineering is harder than physics but physics is also hard.
