2. Major in Information and Computing Science
Information and computing science majors are uniformly divided according to the catalogue of undergraduate majors of the Ministry of Education. Most universities enroll one class in a unified way, without distinguishing between information and calculation. Nankai University, as one of the leading information and computing majors offered by the Ministry of Education, is divided into two classes according to the special situation of the school, which belong to the Department of Information and Probability and the Department of Science and Engineering Computing respectively. The abbreviation of attribute information and probability system is information class. The abbreviation belonging to the Department of Science and Engineering Computing is Computing. There are both similarities and differences between the two classes. First of all, both the information class and the calculation class completed the compulsory courses offered by the college two years ago, and enrolled in the information class and the calculation class respectively according to their own wishes two years later. There are also some cross-courses in the follow-up study. The difference between the two classes lies in the purpose of training and some differences in the follow-up courses.
Information aims to cultivate students with a solid mathematical foundation, establish communication concepts, data compression, cryptography, coding theory, information security and bioinformatics research, and serve graduate students at home and abroad; Even students who are no longer in graduate school can give full play to the advantages of data processing in solving practical problems. Therefore, in addition to basic courses such as mathematical analysis, advanced algebra and analytic geometry, probability theory, real variable function, functional analysis, ordinary differential equation, complex variable function and abstract algebra, other symbolic courses such as signal and system, wavelet theory, information theory, cryptography and coding theory have been added.
The computing direction of science and engineering is a young subject that has developed rapidly with the appearance of computers. It mainly uses mathematical methods and computers to deal with various problems that need to be solved in science and engineering, involving computational physics, computational mechanics, computational chemistry, finance and insurance and other disciplines.

In recent years, about half of the undergraduate graduates of this major have been exempted from the examination to study for graduate students in Chinese Academy of Sciences, Peking University, our school and other units. Or go abroad for further study. The rest of the students took the postgraduate entrance examination or took part in the work, and the employment situation was good.
3. Statistics major
The statistics major of Nankai University was formerly the mathematical statistics major, which was founded in 198 1. It is one of the first two universities funded by the National Bureau of Statistics to set up a major in mathematical statistics in colleges and universities, and started to recruit undergraduates, masters and doctoral students at 1983, 1984 and 1990 respectively.
Statistics is a science of collecting, sorting, analyzing and interpreting statistical data, which belongs to cognitive methodology. Its purpose is to study how to obtain effective data through observation and experiment, explore the inherent quantitative regularity of nature and society through analyzing data, and scientifically understand the objective world and humanistic society. The idea of "exploring the internal laws of things with data" runs through statistics. No matter in scientific research or social life, a large amount of data will be produced. Therefore, statistics is widely used in many disciplines such as natural science, engineering technology, biomedicine, economy and finance, social science, humanities and management science, as well as in daily life, which promotes the development of various disciplines and society.
There are a lot of data and information in scientific research, social economy, computer network and daily life, and they are growing at an unprecedented scale and speed. Statistical data analysis has become an indispensable tool in various industries and scientific research, and it is also an important basis for the government to formulate relevant policies and enterprises to carry out effective production and business activities. Therefore, the social demand for statistics will increase with the passage of time, and the social demand for statistical talents will also increase day by day. The main social needs of statistical talents are in various natural science research, humanities and social science research, government agencies, financial and economic fields, funds, insurance and other financial institutions, biomedical and medical research centers, pharmaceutical companies, disease control centers, hospitals, engineering technology (including various factories and mines) and other research and application institutions (including educational psychology). As long as there are places where data appear and quantitative management is needed, compound talents with statistical knowledge are needed. With the development of computer technology and network, as well as the deepening of China's economic marketization, the demand for statistical talents from government agencies, enterprises, scientific research and education departments will also increase rapidly.
The training goal of statistics major is to require students to have a solid mathematical foundation, firmly grasp the basic theories and methods of statistics, skillfully use computers and have basic knowledge of economics.
