About us

The predecessor of the School of Mathematical Science is the Mathematics Teaching and Research Office of the PLA Military Engineering Institute, founded in 1953. Professor LU Qingjun, a famous mathematician, mathematics educator and expert in rocket and space technology, served as the director of the Teaching and Research Office. The Teaching and Research Office has successively produced a group of well-known experts and scholars, such as DAI Yishan, WANG Hao, ZHANG Jinhuai, and cultivated many internationally renowned scholars, such as LIN Zongzhu and GUAN Bo, and so on. The Teaching and Research Office has gone through the development period of the Department of Basic Sciences and the Department of Mathematics and Physics. In 1999, the office merged with the Physics Department to form the School of Science, and in 2019, the School of Mathematical Sciences was established.

The Basic Science Department first recruited undergraduate students majoring in mathematics in 1977. At present, theschool has a nationally ranked undergraduate major in mathematics and applied mathematics, the first-level Ph.D. program in mathematics, covering four secondary disciplines: Fundamental Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Operations and Control. The school has scientific research platforms such as the Key Laboratory of Marine Science and Engineering Mathematics Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Key Laboratory of Engineering Applied Mathematics of Heilongjiang Province. In addition, the Applied Mathematics Center of Heilongjiang Province was jointly established by the School and Harbin Institute of Technology.

The school has 83 teachers, including 71 full-time teachers, 14professors, 31 associate professors, 12 doctoral supervisors and 33 master supervisors. At present, the school has 2 provincial and ministerial talents, 2 provincial master teachers, 1 provincial master teacher of ideological and political education, 1 provincial young master teacher, 2 teachers selected for the provincial support program for promising academic youth, and 1 most beautiful college counselor in Heilongjiang Province. At present, 372 undergraduate students, 202 master students and 68 doctoral students are enrolled.

Adhering to the principle of "cultivating talents for the Communist Party and the country", the school fully implements the basic task of cultivating morality and emphasizes the characteristics of cultivating talents with broad vision, solid foundation, great ability, excellent quality, and innovation ability. The school is committed to cultivating composite scientific professionals with good scientific quality, rigorous academic attitude and strong innovation spirit, who have a good grasp of basic theories, specialized knowledge and basic skills in mathematics, and can apply what they have learned to solve practical problems. In recent years, with the country's emphasis on basic research and mathematical applications, the employment rate of students has always remained above 90%.

The school has always adhered to a rigorous teaching style with fruitful teaching achievements. There are four national first-class undergraduate courses, namely, "Mathematics Zero Distance", "Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics", "Complex Variable Function", and "Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry". The teachers have won two first prizes in the national finals of the "National Mathematics Micro-course Teaching Design Contest" and one second prize in "National Demonstration and Exchange" of the first national mathematics course teaching innovation demonstration and exchange activity. Over the past five years, the faculty led the students to win more than 2000 provincial and above provincial awards in various international and domestic college student mathematical modeling contests, college student mathematical contests, S.-T. Yau College Student Mathematics Contest and other mathematical discipline contests.

Following the discipline development rule of "science-oriented and science-engineering integrated", the school has gradually formed the main discipline directions of "algebra and combinatorics, differential equation theory, intelligent data analysis, complex network and dynamic system, ocean computational mathematics". In the past five years, the school has won 29 National Natural Science Foundation projects, 1 Outstanding Youth Fund of Heilongjiang Province, 2 Provincial Excellent Youth Projects. The school has also carried out more than 20 other national and provincial projects, and nearly 20 science and technology integration projects，and won 5 provincial and ministerial awards and industry science and technology awards. The school also adheres to the principle of promoting both the foundation and application. In recent years, academic papers have been published in renowned journals such as Memories of AMS, CMP, Adv. Math, Trans AMS, and JFA.
