Applied mathematics is a subject that uses mathematical methods to solve practical problems. It is mainly 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 with computers, have received preliminary training in scientific research, and can engage in research and teaching in science and technology, education and economic departments or engage in practical application, development, research and management in production, operation and management departments. It has applications in economy, finance, engineering and other fields.
Students in this major mainly study mathematics. The main courses include mathematical analysis, geometry, algebra, physics, probability theory and mathematical statistics, differential equations, function theory, discrete mathematics, mathematical history, numerical methods and computer technology, mathematical models, mathematical experiments, basic education and psychology, mathematical teaching theory, basic humanities and social sciences, computer practice, production practice, scientific research training or graduation thesis.
Second, the employment prospects and direction of applied mathematics.
Applied Mathematics and Applied Mathematics are basic majors and are the "parent majors" of other related majors. Whether it is scientific research data analysis, software development, three-dimensional animation production or financial insurance, international economy and trade, business administration, chemical and pharmaceutical industry, communication engineering, architectural design, etc. , can not be separated from the relevant professional knowledge of mathematics.
With the development and popularization of science and technology, the relationship between mathematics major and other related majors will be closer, and the application of mathematics professional knowledge will be more extensive. 87% of the people re-choose their careers based on mathematics or related majors. Because mathematics and applied mathematics are closely related to other related majors, there are many majors with mathematics departments to choose from to analyze and solve financial and management problems by mathematical methods.
Graduates can carry out basic mathematical theory research or teaching, design and development of application software, and their employment is mainly based on two-way choice and self-employment. Mainly engaged in research and teaching in science and technology, education, economy and other departments, or engaged in practical application, development, research and management in production, operation and management departments. Can be engaged in theoretical research, computer software system development, design and maintenance in scientific research departments, government departments, financial systems, universities, military units, computer software companies, communication companies and other enterprises and institutions.
