In conjunction with the common degree requirements in Table I in "Degree Requirements," this plan requires at least 24 math courses. The math courses submitted for the degree must include at least eight 300- or 400-level math courses, and students are encouraged to gain as much mathematical breadth as possible. These overall requirements must include the Faculty core courses outlined in Table II in "Degree Requirements" and the following courses:
All of
MATH 237 (or MATH 247) Calculus 3
MATH 239 (or MATH 249) Introduction to Combinatorics

Notes - Successful completion of the academic requirements for any of the departmental honours plans "X" in the Faculty of Mathematics, whether leading to a BCS or a BMath degree, will be accepted as a replacement for the math course requirements listed above. All requirements specified in Table II must be completed, however, even if the departmental honours plan provides exemptions from any of those requirements. Students who elect this option will be designated by a plan label such as "Honours 'X'/Teaching Option" rather than "Honours Mathematics/Teaching Option." (Since 3B and 4B courses are not normally offered in the spring term, it will be difficult to satisfy this alternative.)
- The Bachelor of Education requirements are completed during an eight-month education study unit in the Faculty of Education at Queen's University in Kingston. This unit occurs in the fall and winter terms following completion of 3B.
- The selection of courses required for the BMath Teaching Option must include a second teaching subject in one of the following disciplines: biology, chemistry, computer science, or physics. Eight courses (four units) are required to qualify for a second teaching subject.
