In October, the School of Mathematical Sciences launched the first session of its "Masterclass Series," featuring specialized workshops on Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry, Complex Analysis, and Mathematical Analysis for Engineering. These sessions, held on October 17, 19, and 20, were led by senior faculty members Ligang Wang and Jingxia Zhao, as well as rising young scholar Xinwang Liu. The series aimed to enhance students’ understanding of key mathematical concepts and foster a passion for learning.
Each lecture was meticulously designed to address critical topics:
Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry: Dr. Ligang Wang systematically reviewed properties of determinants and their applications, using illustrative examples to solidify students' comprehension of this fundamental topic.
Complex Analysis: Dr. Jingxia Zhao provided an in-depth exploration of critical concepts, unraveling complex variable functions through practical problem-solving.
Mathematical Analysis for Engineering: Dr. Xinwang Liu presented a detailed examination of functions and limits, connecting theoretical principles to engineering contexts and emphasizing their practical relevance.
The lectures attracted a large audience, with classrooms filled to capacity. Students who couldn’t attend in person were able to access the live streams and recordings through the university's online platform. The enthusiasm was palpable as students engaged actively with the material and posed challenging questions to the lecturers.
This first installment of the “Masterclass Series” was met with widespread acclaim. It reinforced the school’s commitment to academic excellence and to cultivating a robust foundation for advanced mathematical studies. Moving forward, the School of Mathematical Sciences plans to expand the series, ensuring that more students benefit from high-quality, interactive learning experiences.
