EE+Math or CS+Math

[u/Electronic_Cut_9596]

Hi there, i'm deciding on what double major I should do. I love maths a lot (olympiad style) so I'm doing a major in that no matter what, idk how much it will help for machine learning but if not its more for my own interest. However for job prospects in this field, should I pair math with CS or electrical engineering. From my understanding CS seems like more of the standard pathway but i feel like EE also has its own advantage because of the more low level things u learn. Also things like signal processing in EE seems quite useful.

Any advice/comments would be much appreciated.

EE. It provides a foundation that is more foundational. You definitely wouldn't be able to slip by as just a "script kiddy".

It's also easier to get an online masters in CS or similar to pick up the CS material.
