    I majored in math. It was fun in a mind bending kind of way. The course of study covered:

    Introduction to Calculus
    Introduction to Analysis
    Multivariable Calculus I (Linear approximations to functions in any dimension)
    Multivariable Calculus II (Stoke's theorem)
    Linear algebra
    Abstract algebra
    Complex Analysis
    Real Analysis
    Mathematical logic
    Differential geometry
    Galois theory
    Elliptic Curves

    I wrote my thesis on "descriptive set theory", which is the theory generated by considering extensions to the Borel sigma-algebra for a topology on a Polish metric space. So, it was in the intersection of topology, set theory, measure theory, and mathematical logic.

    Also, I had a lot of freedom in designing my course of study, so I ended up taking a lot of logic courses from the philosophy department.
