General information: Mathematics and applied mathematics majors mainly cultivate applied and inter-disciplinary talents who have a solid mathematical foundation and can carry out mathematical modeling and quantitative analysis on science and technology, economy, finance, and other problems with the help of modern mathematical ideas and methods supplemented by computers, to provide the scientific basis for the decision-making behavior of science and technology, biology, and many economic and financial industries. This major is enrolled according to the significant mathematics and applied mathematics categories, with two training directions of computational finance and computational biology. The length of study is 3-6 years, and the degree of bachelor of science is awarded.

Main course: The main courses of mathematics and applied mathematics include mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, analytical geometry, ordinary differential equations, probability theory, mathematical statistics, mathematical models, advanced language programming and experiments, numerical calculation, general biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, computational biology, microeconomics, econometrics, economic game theory Finance, etc. (choose the corresponding main courses according to the direction of computational biology and computational finance).

Majors’ characteristics: Mathematics and applied mathematics aim to cultivate students with solid basic mathematical skills and rigorous mathematical thinking, basic knowledge and skills to solve practical problems in biology and finance and work in related disciplines, good scientific and cultural quality, functional ability, creative thinking ability, and entrepreneurial ability.

Employment orientation: Graduates majoring in mathematics can engage in applied research, analysis, planning, and management in the financial industry, research institutes, enterprises, and institutions, or go to higher-level graduate students for further study.
