Most math-heavy engineering field?

Going into the last year of high school I have been wondering about the degree I'll pursue.Math and physics are both my strongest and favourite subjects,especially when it comes to problems where the answer can be more abstract.Therefore,engineering seems to be the answer.I know all engineering fields take advantage of physics ,but I'm not sure which one uses advanced math concepts in practice on a day-to-day basis.Could you guys enlighten me?

How strong is your math background? A lot of people say they like math but never took a really advanced courses. You should look into systems engineering. It is more abstract and you get to make ideas into products.

Well this year we will study semi advanced calculus and analyse strongy on functions as well as some other things that don't come to mind.
