How do I know if maths is for me? How did you know? I am not

are you high on the spectrum?
yes? math it is
no? stick to engineering

Define high.

You know if for some reason you were driven to study something in math, without it being a topic in class.

You know if you question why the things you are taught in class are true and have read on logic out of curiosity. And this is the only true indicator. If you don't care about where math comes from do not get a math degree because you will be bombarded with things that you will not care about.

If you just want to learn more math then do literally any STEM degrees. Everyone learns roughly the same mathematics up to differential equations. The only difference is that a math major will teach you why all that crap is the way it is all the way through it. And then beyond differential equations you will learn a lot of math that no one really needs to know unless they really reaaally want to know.

If you are looking mostly into STEM, then math is a very convenient major to start with, even if you end up disliking it. Even after a couple years of mathematics, you can transfer into physics, CS, applied math, or any of those mathier sciences without having to take another year.

Take a proofs class in university and see if you like it

That is very convenient, thank you.

Very well put, I like the way you put it.

Here's some books you should look through. Get them from gen.lib.rus.ec

Axler - Linear Algebra Done Right
Hoffman and Kunze - Linear Algebra
Rosenlicht - Intro to Analysis
Rudin - Principles of Mathematical Analysis
Armstrong - Group Theory
Armstrong - Basic Topology
Hardy and Wright - Intro to Theory of Numbers
Artin - Galois Theory

If you find them interesting then math might be for you. They are all introductory so you can immediately start reading the ones you like.

Did you do well in your math classes?
Did you qualify for IMO?

Most people are not smart enough for math. Since you are asking for career advice from /sci/, it's safe to say you're not that smart.
