Unreferenced date December 2009 A Bachelor of Mathematics is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for successfully completing a program of study in mathematics or related disciplines, such as computer science or statistics . The Bachelor of Mathematics degree is frequently abbreviated as B.Math or BMath . Duration A BMath program generally lasts three years with a fourth honours year in Canada and Australia . BMath programs are increasingly taking about five years to complete because of Cooperative education coop or internship placements. Difference between the BMath and BSc BS or BA In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in mathematics. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Mathematics degrees, and the distinction between those that do and those that award B.Sc or B.A. degrees for mathematics is usually bureaucracy bureaucratic , rather than curriculum related. However, schools that offer a Bachelor of Mathematics degree argue for a separate degree, maintaining that the study of mathematics is vastly different from other fields.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A mathematics journal is a scientific journal which publishes exclusively or almost exclusively mathematics papers. A practical definition of the current state of mathematics , as a research field, is that it consists of theorem s with proofs published in a reputable mathematics journal, and which usually have passed through the process of peer review . In some exceptional cases, the statement of a conjecture , or the introduction of some new method or definition might assume relevance. A relatively small proportion of mathematics papers concerned with pure mathematics are published through more general, science based learned journals. Applied mathematics may be published in publications more oriented towards engineering , but sometimes also biology and other sciences. Hundreds of such journals exist. Some of the most prestigious journals in pure mathematics are Annals of Mathematics , Publications Math matiques de l IH S , Acta Mathematica , and Inventiones Mathematicae .

E. J. Brouwer . Almost all mathematics, however, is done in the classical tradition, or in ways compatible with it. Defenders of classical mathematics, such as David Hilbert , have argued that it is easier to work in, and is most fruitful although they acknowledge non classical mathematics has at times led to fruitful results that classical mathematics could not or could not so easily attain, on the whole they argue it is the other way round. In terms of the philosophy and history of mathematics, the very existence of non classical mathematics raises the question of the extent to which the foundational mathematical choices humanity has made arise from their superiority rather than from, say, expedience driven concentrations of effort on particular aspects.
