Double major in pure math and physics?
I want to take as much math as possible (mainly pure math I know that the standard math classes are covered in a physics major but it's not enough) and am unsure about graduate school in pure math or physics. I figure the more math the better for physics, and the amount of additional time required would probably be very little, relative to most double majors. I'd say it'd make me a better physicist. What do you guys think?

my husband is a physicist, as are most of their friends. They USE math as a tool, but most don't actually enjoy math. They take the math classes they need to do they physics they want to do. It is not uncommon for physicists to invent new areas of math, or new techniques, because they need to analyze and understand something, and no math works for a new problem they are working on.
that said, i see no problem in the double major as an undergraduate; by the time you are nearing grad school, you will have a better feel for whether you get what you want better by physics or by math.

Math and physics have distinctive overlapping classes, so as that isn't as no longer undemanding as 2 unrelated majors. whether, philosophy incredibly isn't sensible, and maximum faculties won't help you have the two 2 majors and then upload minors to that. appears like the failings you choose to examine are the failings no you may pay you to examine. you will study lots approximately good judgment and extreme questioning on your technological know-how training, or a minimum of you're able to.
