Answer 1 :
accounting
Answer 2 :
Engineering of course. In engineering you need to use the principles from Linear Algebra, Calculus, Partial Differential Equations even Discrete math. You really need to understand the advanced math concepts and should have the capability to do math mental calculation and math modeling/programming in computer. . In Accounting you just need to understand basic algebra, but you need to do fast and precise mental calculations. if you hate math, avoid both.
Answer 3 :
there are several disciplines of engineering and some do NOT require maths or calculations. on the other hand, accounting cannot avoid the use of maths, even if it is generally basic maths. so select an engineering discipline that does not require (much) maths.
Answer 4 :
Engineering. Accountancy is just adding up
Answer 5 :
Accounting is more basic math, but an accountant is going to use math every day. To get an engineering degree, you take very difficult, high-level math courses. If you say that you don't like math, you won't make it. It's hard. Very hard. However, as an engineer, in my particular job, I rarely use any of the high-level math I've learned. But you need to be able to do the math to get through school.
Answer 6 :
Engineering has calculus, statistics, algebra, and optimisation. Accountancy has sums. However, if you go in to actuarial science, which is a specialised branch of accountancy, you'll do a lot of very heavy duty statistics and regression modelling.
Answer 7 :
engineering. accounting is basic maths, adding, multiplying and in the worst scenario finding percentage. in engineering requires more complicated maths like algebra, logarithms, geometry ect.
