Applied mathematics majors train senior professionals who master the basic theories and methods of mathematical science, have the ability to use mathematical knowledge and solve practical problems with computers, have received preliminary training in scientific research, and can engage in research and teaching in scientific, technical, educational and economic departments or engage in practical application, development, research and management in production, operation and management departments.

Computational mathematics is a scientific specialty formed by the intersection of mathematics, physics, computer science, operational research and control science.

There are two directions in computational mathematics, one is the numerical solution of partial differential equations, and the other is the numerical optimization method.
