Jones was honored by being selected to write the Carus Monograph Number 10, entitled The Arithmetic Theory of Quadratic Forms. He received the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Distinguished Service Award in 1971. In 1991 the Rocky Mountain section of the MAA honored the memory of B. W. Jones by naming their yearly Distinguished Teaching Award after him. He died in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
