Northwest Normal University, located in Lanzhou, an important town on the Silk Road, was jointly established by Gansu Provincial People's Government, China People's Government and Ministry of Education, and was selected as one of the 14 universities in the western region supported by the state.
Mathematics and applied mathematics is a discipline to cultivate senior professionals who master the basic theories and methods of mathematical science, have the ability to use mathematical knowledge and solve practical problems by computers, have received preliminary training in scientific research, and can engage in research and teaching in science, technology, education and economy departments or engage in practical application, development, research and management in production, operation and management departments.
Graduates should have the following knowledge and abilities:
1. Have a solid mathematical foundation, received strict scientific thinking training, and initially mastered the thinking method of mathematical science;
2. Have the preliminary ability to apply mathematical knowledge to solve practical problems, especially the ability to establish mathematical models.
3. Skillful use of computers (including common languages, tools and some mathematical software) and the ability to write simple application programs;
4. Understand the national science and technology policies and regulations;
5. Understand some new developments and application prospects of mathematical science;
Employment direction:
Mathematics and applied mathematics are the foundation and rising platform of computer science and technology, and they are one of the most closely related majors.
This major is a basic major with a wide range of employment, but postgraduate entrance examination is still the first choice for graduates of this major.
Mathematics and applied mathematics were rated as the top ten "red warning" subjects for employment in 20 12. The biggest weakness of this subject is inaccurate employment orientation and lack of professional subject skills.
Because mathematics and applied mathematics are closely related to other related majors, there are many similar majors to choose from, so it is much easier to apply for this major than other majors, and it is much easier to re-choose a job and change careers, which is conducive to better employment in the future.
Qualified software talents need to have a "solid mathematical foundation" and "strict logical thinking ability".
Representative occupation: programmer's salary: the salary level of programmers that most people will engage in varies greatly. The monthly income of junior programmers is generally around 4,000 yuan, and the supervisor level can reach about 20,000 yuan.
In short, having a solid foundation in mathematics and data structure is a necessary condition for becoming a master programmer.
Business people: professional advantages and good career prospects Employment analysis: Financial mathematicians have become one of the most sought-after talents on Wall Street. In the simplest example, the chief actuary may have the highest status and income among insurance companies. In the United States, famous universities such as the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, new york University, etc. have all set up degree or professional certificate education related to financial mathematics. Nevertheless, many actuaries who are very popular in the United States are from mathematics majors.
Teachers: Large demand and stable treatment Employment analysis: According to the forecast of the Ministry of Education, the gap of senior high school teachers in China will reach 1. 1.6 million in the next five years, among which teachers in basic disciplines such as mathematics and Chinese have the largest demand. There is even a shortage of math teachers in many cities and counties in Guangdong Province. The statistical analysis of the talent market in 37 large and medium-sized cities in China shows that math teachers are very popular. Broadening the channels for teachers and recruiting teachers for the society has become an important measure for the reform of the education and personnel system. This undoubtedly provides a great development space for applying for the employment of graduates majoring in mathematics and applied mathematics in comprehensive universities.
Li Kaifu, former vice president of Google, reminded college students: "Most knowledge systems of science and engineering majors are based on mathematics. Learning mathematics knowledge can cultivate and train people's thinking ability. "
Postgraduate entrance examination: choose the future on the shoulders of mathematics.
If you choose a math major, you'd better have a plan for further study. It will be easier to break through if we lay a good foundation in mathematics at the undergraduate stage and then seek development from other directions. There is no doubt that the choice of postgraduate majors is of course the best in finance, computer and other majors.
