A set of achievements can reflect strength: in 20 17 years, Xiangtan University was selected as the top 1% discipline of ESI world ranking; In 2020, it was approved by Hunan National Center for Applied Mathematics (the first batch of supporting units in China); 202 1 Top-notch Students Training Base in Mathematics was selected as the 2.0 Base of Top-notch Students Training Program in Basic Subjects of the Ministry of Education; In 2022, the teaching team of computational mathematics was selected as the "Huang Danian-style teaching team of national universities".
At present, the mathematics discipline of Xiangtan University has a number of high-level platforms, such as the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education, the Key Laboratory of Hunan Province and the Key Laboratory of National Defense Science and Technology. Aiming at the international frontier, it is an important force in the field of numerical simulation of national defense application in China to carry out original basic research and applied research oriented to major national strategies and local economic and social development, form a number of long-term and stable advantages and characteristics, and reach the international advanced level in many research fields.
"Master Xiang" spirit:
Yang Yin, dean of the School of Mathematics and Computing of Xiangtan University and deputy director of Hunan National Center for Applied Mathematics, said that the mathematics discipline of Xiangtan University was founded in 1974. In 1980s and 1990s, a large number of second-generation computational mathematicians, represented by Professor Huang Yunqing, the academic leader, and Professor Shu Tan, the team leader, carried out high-quality connotative construction such as national key disciplines, specialties with national characteristics, national teaching teams, scientific and technological innovation teams of the Ministry of Education, and training bases for top-notch students in basic disciplines of the Ministry of Education.
Over the past 40 years, the School of Mathematics and Computational Science of Xiangtan University has trained more than 6,000 undergraduates, postgraduates and doctoral students. Among these graduates, a number of outstanding talents from academia and other fields have emerged.
Two people were elected as academicians of China Academy of Sciences and Academy of Developing Countries, 10 won the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, seven people won the National Natural Science Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award, six people were invited to give speeches at the International Mathematicians' Congress and the International Industrial and Applied Mathematics Congress, two people were elected as academicians of the American Mathematical Society and the American Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society, and 10 people won the American Industrial and Applied Mathematics Society's Outstanding Contribution Award.
