[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't worry too much about whether you kid likes problem solving versus theory.  You can learn either in college.  Must high school kids don't get much match theory except in Geometry and Trig, in which student do proofs.  My daughter found statistics very interesting.

For a female student, I would look at the [b]size and demographics of the math department.[/b]  [/quote]
I agree.
Make sure you click through the profiles of the professors.  Your child should also visit the schools and ask to sit in on a math class.[/quote]

The only thing though is in a SLAC with just a math major you may not have access to people doing things like engineering, data science, machine learning--and it would be a shame if that was where her passion lies and it's where greater career opportunities are. [/quote]

Most of the better LACs have courses and profs in machine learning and data science. Data science might be offered through statistics while machine learning will usually be offered through CS. Engineering is a different matter. [/quote]
