You're asking a great question, and it's a smart move to think about how math can be paired with another field—it opens a lot of doors. Here are a few strong options where math isn't just compatible, but *central*:

### 1. **Computer Science**

* Math forms the foundation of algorithms, cryptography, machine learning, and computational theory.
* Great if you enjoy logic, problem-solving, and building things.

### 2. **Physics**

* Heavily mathematical, especially theoretical physics.
* Good if you're interested in understanding how the universe works, from particles to planets.

### 3. **Engineering (any type)**

* All branches of engineering—mechanical, electrical, civil, aerospace—use applied mathematics daily.
* Good mix of theory and practical problem-solving.

### 4. **Data Science / Statistics**

* This is where math meets real-world data.
* Hot field for jobs in tech, finance, healthcare, sports, and more.

### 5. **Economics / Finance**

* If you're into modeling human behavior, markets, or optimization, this might suit you.
* Econometrics (statistics + economics) is very math-heavy.

### 6. **Mathematical Biology or Chemistry**

* You can apply math to biological systems, like modeling epidemics or ecological systems.
* Also strong in chemical engineering or computational chemistry.

### 7. **Pure or Applied Mathematics**

* If you *love* math itself, go deep.
* Can be abstract (pure) or problem-driven (applied), and still lead to work in research, tech, finance, or education.

You mentioned uncertainty about computer science or physics. Would you like help comparing those two directly?
