just curious, those are my three favourite subjects, i like biology as well..im planning on studying microbiology at college and want to take a conjoint degree with basic maths, chem & physics to complement my microbiology degree...any info at all would help a lot..thank you :)

A biochemistry degree can often focus on the thermodynamics of chemical reactions pertaining to biology. This requires a working knowledge of physics and involves a large amount of math.

In India, a Bachelor of Science degree program offers Maths, Physics and Chemistry as the three main subjects (equal weightage) and normally you can't mix microbiology and the Maths at that level. At 10+2 (Intermediate) level, it is possible to study Biology, Maths, Physics and Chemistry.
I wish you success in your academic pursuits.

Actually, that combination doesn't eliminate many at all! Let your degree (and school) choice lean toward the broad area you think you'll enjoy most and do well in. Keep your course choices broad. Where possible, I took my physics courses from the physics department and my electronics courses from the electrical engineering department. I was able to switch from physics to EE during my third year with no penalty or loss of time. Postpone that final commitment as long as practical.

I don't believe there is a specific degree, but the fields of "physical chemistry" and "chemical physics" (it's a fine line) are up your alley. If you like math, then go towards the "chemical physics". I'm a "biochemical physicist" not to be confused with a "biophysical chemist".

Okay, I am admittedly biased, but let me suggest that you think about my field, Geology. Geology is an applied science that uses ALL of the pure sciences and tends to be rather mathematical. In fact, it tends to be a intersection of almost all other sciences--to varying degrees, of course. Geologists are NOT scientists who simply sit around staring at rocks!--there's a LOT more to it than that! These are among the reasons I chose to pursue this field myself.
Microbiology would certainly fit in with geological research these days. Also, and quite importantly, real geology is genuinely awe inspiring, and (again, I'm biased here) quite FUN! Give it some thought, and best of luck to you!
Cheers

The more well-rounded you are in the sciences, the more versatile you can be. Math is a foundation advanced study in the sciences. Think about bioengineering, genetics research and biochemistry. Those are broad fields, but as you go on, I'm sure you'll know about them. Good luck!

I am surprised that no one has said Chemical Engineering.
Engineering and physics (as well as math) go hand in hand and adding in the chemistry component you have a tremendous blend of all three.

Math is necessary in physics and chemistry.
Engineering applies the principals of math and science.
Microbiology is good. It needs chemistry too.

bachelor master PHd all add up as to how many majors you've studied I'd guess - I'd like a couple of degrees myself

quite simply i would recomment chemical engineering- a b.e. or m.e. is offered in this at any engineering school. it involves massive mathematics since it is physics but it is physics on the level of chemistry to solve chemical problems using chemistry and physics.
