He presided over 26 national natural science foundation projects, published SCI papers, and entered the ranks of high-yield institutions in China for the second time. He was awarded the second and third prizes for scientific and technological progress by the Ministry of Education, the second prize for natural science in China universities and the first prize for outstanding scientific and technological achievements by the National Bureau of Statistics.
The department of mathematics has doctoral and master's programs in mathematics, doctoral and master's programs in statistics, post-doctoral mobile stations in mathematics, key disciplines in applied mathematics in Jiangsu Province and master's programs in applied statistics. There are five teaching and research sections: applied mathematics, basic mathematics, probability statistics, calculation and operation and advanced mathematics. Mathematics, applied mathematics, applied probability statistics and financial statistics. Significant achievements have been made in the discipline construction and scientific research work of the Department of Mathematics. In 2006, it ranked 23rd in the first-level subject of mathematics in China, and published SCI papers and entered the ranks of national high-yield colleges for the second time (nationwide 18, nationwide 16). 2006-20 1 1, established and presided over 56 national natural science foundation projects. Won the first prize of natural science in Jiangsu Province, the second prize and the third prize of scientific and technological progress in the Ministry of Education, the second prize of natural science in national colleges and universities, and the first prize of outstanding scientific and technological achievements in the National Bureau of Statistics. The ranking indexes of mathematical papers are 20 10 and 20 1 1, and they were selected for ESI twice. In the ESI ranking of 20 1 1, it ranks 154 among 200 scientific research institutions in the world, 14 among 7 scientific research institutions in China and 12 universities in Chinese mainland.
1.3 Specialty Settings
The Department of Mathematics has three undergraduate majors: Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Information and Computing Science and Statistics. Among them, mathematics and applied mathematics are characteristic majors in Jiangsu province, brand majors in Jiangsu province and national characteristics majors, information and computing science is the construction point of characteristic majors in Jiangsu province, and statistics is a new major to meet the needs of society. The Department of Mathematics enrolls students by major category, and students choose their major and major direction after one and a half years' study. Professional direction mainly includes applied mathematics, basic mathematics, probability statistics, logistics and control, information and coding, signal and system, computer application, scientific calculation and financial statistics.
1.4 school-running characteristics
Carry out wide-caliber training mode, strengthen general education, lay a solid foundation in mathematics, pay attention to cross-discipline and strengthen practical ability. Divergent culture, multi-directional wood. Cross-discipline is the biggest highlight of Southeast University's combination with engineering, management and finance. Interdisciplinary graduate students account for more than 15% of the total number of graduates. The number of intercollegiate exchange places with famous universities such as Germany and France is increasing year by year, and the proportion of graduate students studying in top international universities such as the United States and Britain is also increasing.
1.5 continuing education and employment
Actively encourage students to apply for master's degrees in mathematics, computer science and engineering, information science, electronic science and engineering, control science, management science, finance and economy. Excellent graduates can directly study for a master's degree in mathematics or related interdisciplinary subjects without examination, and can also be recommended to study abroad. More than half of the students in the department of mathematics are studying for graduate students or going abroad for further study. Graduates are also suitable for scientific research, scientific development, scientific management and teaching in scientific research institutions, state organs, universities and large and medium-sized enterprises and companies.
2 Historical evolution Edit this paragraph
The historical evolution of mathematics in Southeast University is closely related to the development of Southeast University. Although it has different names in different historical stages, the Department of Mathematics has a long history since the establishment of 1902 Southeast University.
In September, 1903, Sanjiang Normal School opened. 1904 Start registration. One of the four disciplines set up by the school is physics and chemistry (hereinafter referred to as the Department of Physics and Chemistry Mathematics). 19 14 In August, Nanjing Normal School was established in the original site of Liangjiang Normal School. The school has eight departments of arts and sciences (graphic department, English department, philosophy department, history department, mathematics department, physics department and chemistry department). 1920 In April, Guo Bingwen put forward the proposal of establishing a national university on the basis of Nanjing Normal University. 1921July 13, the Ministry of Education approved the organizational outline of Southeast University. On August 27th, the Ministry of Education approved Dr. Guo Bingwen as the president of Southeast University. The school has 6 disciplines and 365,438+0 departments. The department of mathematics has become one of the four major departments of science, and Mr. Xiong Qinglai, a famous mathematician who returned from Europe, is the head of the department. National Central University was founded on April 24th, 1928. Before the Anti-Japanese War in National Central University (1928- 1937), the Department of Mathematics became one of the six departments of the Faculty of Science. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Central University (1937- 1939) reorganized its Faculty of Science into seven departments, and the Department of Mathematics was still one of them. 1940- 1945, the school changed its name to Nanjing central university, and the department of mathematics changed its name to the department of mathematics and science, which belongs to the institute of technology. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Central University (1945- 1949) re-established the Faculty of Science, and the Department of Mathematics was one of the eight departments.
1952 National departments were adjusted, and Nanjing Institute of Technology was established in the original site of Central University. The school merged all the basic disciplines and established a basic course department. 1977 after the national college entrance examination was resumed, the department of basic science at that time began to recruit undergraduates, which was called the mathematics teacher class. Postgraduates begin to enroll students 1982. 1984 established the department of mathematical mechanics, 1997 separated the mechanical specialty (merged into the college of civil engineering) and changed its name to the department of applied mathematics. In 2002, it was renamed the Department of Mathematics.
