Mathematics and applied mathematics is a discipline, which cultivates the basic theories and methods of mathematical science, has the ability to use mathematical knowledge and solve practical problems with computers, and has been initially trained in scientific research.

The history of mathematics application and mathematics can be said to be as long. In ancient times, counting knots, measuring land and distributing property led to the appearance of arithmetic, algebra and geometry one after another. China's most famous mathematical classic "Nine Chapters Arithmetic" collects 246 practical problems and pays attention to solving practical problems, which is a fine tradition of ancient mathematics in China.

This major trains students to master the basic theories, knowledge and methods of mathematical science, to use mathematical knowledge and computers to solve some practical mathematical problems, to master modern mathematical knowledge, and to have a high comprehensive ability of abstract thinking, analyzing and solving problems.

Applied professionals who can engage in teaching, management and scientific research in senior middle schools, secondary vocational and technical colleges, enterprises and institutions and government departments.

Students in this major mainly study the basic theories and methods of mathematics and applied mathematics, receive strict mathematical thinking training, master the basic principles and application means of computers, and pass the educational theory courses and teaching practice links.

Form good teachers' quality, and cultivate basic abilities such as engaging in mathematics teaching, mathematics education research, mathematics scientific research and mathematics practical application.
