The Department of Applied Mathematics was set up on the basis of the former Department of Mathematics. Over 20 academic papers were covered by SCI during the last few years, and many researchers got awarded by the Ministry of Education and Shandong Province.
The Department currently has 32 full-time faculty members; among them there are 8 professors and 6 associate professors. Their enthusiasm for Mathematics motivates the Department’s progress in teaching research.
Their interests cover major areas of theoretical and applied mathematics, including analysis, combinatorics, operation research and cybernetics, differential equations, dynamical systems, financial mathematics, probability theory, scientific computation. Students find the faculty members�? expert knowledge a great resource.
The Department is able to confer Master Degree to graduates in some fields of Mathematics, including Pure Mathematics, Operation Research and Control Theory and Financial Mathematics.
For teaching and research purposes, the Department has a scientific computation and mathematical laboratory including 94 personal computers.
By deepening the reform, more and more better students will be trained and research will be brought to a higher level with the object of building a comprehensive system of mathematical sciences and turning the Department into enjoying some popularity at home.
