One of my undergrad degrees is in math. As you study it, you learn to identify your assumptions (axioms), find or build interesting abstractions, prove properties about them (theorems), and then map all sorts of other things into those abstractions by figuring out that they're really the same thing. It's even more interesting when you start to find things that are different or question things you always took for granted.Math gives you the ability to leverage the very structure and relationships of pure abstraction. It's quite the super power.
None of the specific things you learn studying math will be nearly as useful as the ability to think mathematically.
