What makes you know that that's the right degree for you? When you say "math degree", I don't think of something that applies to machine learning all that much! :) Math is a huge field, and undegrad math covers a big swath of it. Have you taken a stats course yet? I would consider just taking a stats course first, and then maybe asking anybody you meet with similar interests in data logging/analysis what the relevant courses are to take. That said, looking over the summary on that page, it does seem more "applied" than most math degrees, which is probably what you want.
