1. About choosing schools and setting majors
(1) Reasons for choosing this institution:
First of all, my graduate students want to study near home, so that they can find a better job near home in the future, so I chose this area in Dalian. I am from Jiangsu province. According to the tendency of senior students in our college to take the postgraduate entrance examination in recent years, I initially preferred 2 1 1 like Nanjing Normal University and Su Da, but later I learned more about the postgraduate entrance examination in mathematics in these two schools, and the competition was a bit big. Secondly, I don't want to be a math teacher in the future, so I thought about changing to a school with less competition. In addition, I knew about the postgraduate entrance examination in Dalian University of Technology. Compared with similar universities, the annual enrollment is not announced, which makes me very competitive. In contrast, Dalian University of Technology is less competitive. I contacted some seniors and sisters, and they said that they could engage in financial-related work after graduation, which is exactly what I wanted to try, so I firmly entered Dalian University of Technology, even though my boyfriend later went to a better school in Shanghai. At that time, a senior senior suggested that I apply for the applied statistics major in the School of Mathematics of Dalian University of Technology. But considering that I have never been exposed to statistical knowledge and the competition is huge, I chose to master mathematics for stability.
(2) Professional application:
Before 2022, the Master of Mathematics in Dalian University of Technology was divided into four majors: basic mathematics, applied mathematics and computational mathematics, probability theory and mathematical finance, optimization and control. In the future, this model will be adopted with a high probability, because there are fewer places for each major, so sometimes the choice is greater than the pay. I hope that my younger brothers and sisters will choose according to their own interests and their own strength.
Dalian University of Technology Master of Mathematics enrollment score line is not very stable. 2020 and 202 1, the test papers are relatively simple, especially in senior grades, so the scores are also high, about 340+ and 350+. According to the final admission, the basic test of 370+ is relatively stable, but the test paper in 2022 is more difficult, and we think there is a pressure phenomenon, so we finally scored. Some students even passed the national line, and the scores of the last four majors were all 290, which is the national line. Among them, 6 students were enrolled in the basic mathematics major, 4 students crossed the line, 3 students were enrolled in the optimization and control major, and 3 students crossed the line. The two majors are re-examined, and one person is brushed for each major. In fact, except for a few high scores in the initial test, the scores are not very high, and there are several people with about 300 points.
In 2022, the Master of Mathematics major of the School of Mathematics of Dalian University of Technology enrolled four majors. In addition to postgraduate places, there are 6 students in basic mathematics, 8 students in applied mathematics and computational mathematics, 3 students in probability theory and mathematical finance, and 3 students in optimization and control. The number of applicants is basic mathematics 13, applied mathematics and computational mathematics 30, and basic mathematics 16. According to previous years, probability theory and mathematical finance are the most popular majors, followed by applied mathematics and computational mathematics, followed by optimization and control, and basic mathematics is the least popular. However, this year is the first year to fill in the report by major, without referring to the data of previous years. For everyone, the number of applicants and the level of candidates in each major are unknown. The final result is that the competition between optimization and control between applied mathematics and computational mathematics is the fiercest, and the candidates of these two majors have higher scores. The professional competitiveness of probability theory and mathematical finance is not as good as that of basic mathematics, which may be because most candidates think that the scores of probability theory and mathematical finance are too high to fill in.
In terms of enrollment ratio, regardless of professional enrollment in previous years, the number of applicants was basically 70+, and the number of students enrolled was around 20. In 2022, the total number of applicants for the four majors was 70+, and finally 18 students were admitted, with an admission ratio of about 4. However, there is a certain gap in the enrollment ratio of each major, and there is only one year's data. The enrollment of each major is small, which is not referential and junior.
2. Initial experience
(1) politics for postgraduate entrance examination: politics will begin in July. It may not be realistic to study politics by self-study. Watching some teachers' video lessons will help us understand some obscure concepts to a great extent. This part of Ma Yuan occupies a very important position in postgraduate politics, and there are many things to know, so it takes more time. I usually take notes in books while watching videos, and then do small 1000 questions in time to strengthen consolidation and summary. Ma Yuan's effect is still very good.
Wait until the rest of the chapters, such as Selected Works in Mao Zedong and Hughes, are repeated, which deepens the memory. Be sure to do a good job of multiple-choice questions in the early stage, and it is also important to find some small knowledge points after doing the questions. Later, Xiao Si Hachi recited it crazily after the sale! Sure enough, seniors and seniors don't bully me. After the exam, I just want to shout: Grandpa yyds! Politics doesn't really need a lot of time to learn. If you are tired of studying professional courses, you can watch politics and have a rest and relax.
(2) Postgraduate English:
The first test of English for postgraduate entrance examination is thinking logic, but no matter how good the thinking logic is, it is impossible to know words. So vocabulary is the foundation, and review can start with vocabulary. For children's shoes that don't like memorizing word books, vocabulary can start with real questions.
I memorized some vocabulary books at first, but I found that memorizing words really didn't suit me, because words have many meanings and I would forget to say them when memorizing them. It is difficult to match the meaning I remember without context with the new words in the context when doing the problem. Therefore, I will memorize, understand and master the words directly from the context on the basis of reciting the Lightning Edition of Xylose English Words, so that the memory of words is also targeted. If I do more questions, you will find that many words are.
In English review, I adhere to the principle of the supremacy of real questions. I brush the cloze of real questions and four reading comprehension articles three times a year (writing, translation and partB are put behind to focus on the form of the topic). Then I put aside the lightning version of xylose English words in the later period, mainly spending time on writing, translation and partB, and I will also watch the reading comprehension of two real questions every day to keep my sense of language. And analyze and take notes, the vocabulary of the postgraduate entrance examination outline is basically included. After each reading, I will write down new words on the front of each page of my notebook, and write down long and difficult sentences and analysis on the back, so I should go back and review them often.
What needs to be explained here is that the reading questions in the first decade are different from those in the second decade, so the reading questions in 00-03 are mainly about analyzing articles and memorizing words, and the topic options need not be too entangled. To do the real questions in the second decade, in addition to memorizing vocabulary and analyzing long and difficult sentences, we should also pay attention to discovering the logical thinking behind the options. With regard to vocabulary, I will also introduce you to the xylose English WeChat video class. The lecture is not boring. You can read more in the early and middle stages, which is very effective. Of course, it is still necessary to focus on real questions and writing in the later stage. In a word, it is most important for everyone to find a suitable vocabulary method.
English questions include cloze, reading, new questions, translation and composition. Reading → composition → new questions → translation → cloze and scribble are the order of most people, but the order of doing the questions still varies from person to person. For example, for candidates with unstable psychological quality in the examination room, if you skip cloze and read the first one in time, it will be counterproductive and increase the sense of tension. Therefore, when doing real questions at ordinary times, try more and practice the most efficient and effective way to do them.
For a big composition, you can select several typical examples from the real questions in the past ten years, practice your hands first, and then summarize several big frames containing about 12 sentences in the same way. These self-summaries must be read more and recited more. Write a simulated composition with your own framework, so that you can be familiar with the framework and constantly improve your own framework.
English review is like this. If you do it in a down-to-earth manner, your English will certainly be the same after one year.
(3) Specialized courses:
The professional courses of the four professional examinations are all mathematical analysis and advanced algebra, and they are all a test paper. The bibliography is Mathematical Analysis published by East China Normal University and Advanced Algebra published by Peking University. Questions are all solution questions, which are divided into calculation questions and proof questions. The difficulty is uncertain. In recent years, 20 19 and 2022 are more difficult, while 2020 and 202 1 are less difficult, especially in advanced algebra.
Go through the textbooks before the summer vacation, and you can choose to read them yourself. Students with poor foundation can watch videos, and then you can start strengthening in the summer vacation. You can choose some problem sets to do. You can refer to Qian Jilin's Essence of Mathematical Analysis and Pei's Typical Problems and Methods in Mathematical Analysis. For advanced algebra, you can look at Li Yang's intensive lectures, and Dalian University of Technology is enough.
Through the real questions in recent years, it can be found that the mathematical analysis of Dalian University of Technology is generally more difficult than advanced algebra, so students who are not good at mathematical analysis should choose carefully because there is a risk that a single subject may be difficult to cross the line. After strengthening, they can do the real questions of previous years, and the real questions of the latest year can be left to the final simulation, and the real questions of previous years can be done repeatedly, because some of the same questions will appear again and again.
3. Re-examination experience
(1) Second interview:
In 2022, the re-examination score was 290 points, including 6 students majoring in basic mathematics, 4 students majoring in optimization and control, 3 students majoring in optimization and control, 8 students majoring in applied mathematics and computational mathematics, 9 students majoring in probability theory and mathematical finance, and 4 students majoring in re-examination. Due to the small enrollment and the implementation of this enrollment model in the first year, the data are for reference only.
(2) the second interview content:
The re-examination of basic mathematics requires seven basic undergraduate courses, such as analysis, geometry and algebra (don't worry too much about cross-majors, just ask simple concepts and theorems in mathematical analysis and advanced algebra). After getting the preliminary test results, everyone can start reviewing the retest content. Emphasis is placed on concepts and theorems, as well as the proof of some particularly important theorems. Although you won't recite the proof on the spot, you should be clear about your thoughts so that you can have something to say when asked.
The general process of re-examination is written examination plus interview. However, due to the epidemic situation, the written test may be cancelled. Please pay attention to the interview: don't be nervous! It doesn't really matter. Tell the teacher directly that I'm not sure, but I know xxx very well and the teacher is very nice. I will continue to ask questions under your guidance, so don't be afraid, just play to the normal level. Political English re-examination is relatively simple. Politics will generally ask you about some recent events (but never very unpopular). English re-examination will generally be easier to introduce yourself, introduce xx and so on. These contents can be prepared in advance. If you are eliminated in the online interview, don't worry and be afraid, it won't affect your final grade. Just cooperate with the teacher and go in again. Don't worry. (from a lucky guy who dropped the line twice and still has to be admitted)
In 2022, the retest time is 25 minutes. First, I introduce myself in English 1 minute, and then I answer the examiner's English questions (my questions are my favorite subjects, so I have to answer them carefully, which may affect the subjects that teachers ask freely later). Then I test four topics, mathematical analysis, advanced algebra, probability theory and ordinary differential equations. Candidates need to answer one by one. These four topics account for a large proportion, and I have to answer them.
suggestion
Mathematics in Dalian University of Technology has certain financial attributes. You can choose to work in financial institutions in the future, and you also have rich internship resources. If you want to develop in this area, you can consider it. Of course, you can also consider doing academics. Dalian University of Technology has just approved the doctoral program of 202 1, and you can study directly at Dalian University of Technology. As for the difficulty, mathematical analysis is generally difficult, and the difficulty of advanced algebra is uncertain. When it is very simple, the admission score is relatively high. When there are difficulties, you may be admitted directly to the national line. Generally speaking, it is still difficult, but it is not that unattainable. Those who like Dalian can consider coming to Dalian University of Technology.
I hope everyone can have a smooth sailing in the process of choosing a school and preparing for the exam. There are various reasons for choosing a school, but I hope you can stand on your own feet. Specialized courses are not simple, but you will get what you pay. British politics are inseparable, but as you know, 59 and 60 are completely different in nature. No matter what the result is, please remember: I have tried, I have paid, and I have no regrets!
