Mathematics

As the natural science and frontier engineering have developed rapidly, the research area of the modern mathematics has been expanded widely. The education of the department of mathematics takes aim at cultivating people with deep knowledge of mathematics, with which they can contribute to the development of the theories of mathematical sciences, the frontier technologies of sciences and engineering and also to the human society
