As can be seen from Putnam's results, MIT and CMU have dominated the list in recent years, and the proportion of China elite students in CS and EECS has increased significantly; It can also be seen from the signing direction of the top 50 mathematics competitions in China that cs has captured a large number of students who originally belonged to mathematics.

Due to the serious brain drain among students, in recent ten years, the proportion of direct doctoral students has increased from top to bottom in China's colleges and universities, while the proportion of master students has decreased.

I think it is a good thing to cut off some people's delusions, because there is nothing new under the sun. At present, there are still a large number of high school losers, college entrance examination losers and enthusiastic new converts from foreign departments to mathematics majors in China, trying to prove their value and significance by getting a master's degree in mathematics from a good school through postgraduate entrance examination.

Finally, I learned that Zhang Chen LMY was the first person to write the truth of "The Fairy Looking at Peking University for a few minutes", and my tears fell. Help, help Asperger, help Don Quixote.

The decision to cancel the master's degree in mathematics in Nanjing University may mean that the school has adjusted the postgraduate training plan for mathematics.

On the one hand, the cancellation of master's degree may help to increase the number of doctoral students, which is good news for students who want to engage in mathematics research and faculty who want to develop in academia. On the other hand, this decision may lead to an increase in the cost of graduate students, because the tuition fees of graduate students are usually high, and more and more schools no longer provide accommodation for graduate students. This may bring difficulties to some students with limited economic conditions.
