I highly recommend studying math at Queen's! The faculty are excellent teachers who truly care about the success of their students. The program gives students a solid background in mathematics, and there are a wide range of interesting upper year courses to choose from. For example, in my last year at Queen's, I had the opportunity to take Prof. Smith's Computational Commutative Algebra course. I really enjoyed it, and now work in the area!

In many math classes at Queen's, students are encouraged to discuss ideas and work together. There are also events, from Math Club to Pi Day, which bring together students and faculty, and help foster a welcoming and friendly environment. I have very fond memories of my time at Queen's, and, even twelve years later, I am still friends with some of my Queen's math classmates.
Queen's math set me up to succeed in graduate school. I was ready to take demanding Ph.D. courses because of my background from Queen's, and the breadth in my education helped me to choose a research direction in a timely manner. Many of my peers had the same experience, and I know of at least five other Queen's math grads (from 2006, 2007, or 2008) who are now tenure track faculty members at universities in North America!
