College of Applied Mathematics    Reviewer:

The College of Applied Mathematics originates was developed from the Department of Basic Education of Chengdu Institute of Meteorology. Then it had has experienced several stages of development: from Department of Basic Science, to Department of Computational Science, Department of Mathematics and Information Science. There are now two programs for master's degree (Basic Mathematics, Applied Mathematics), and two programs for bachelor's degree (Information and Computational Science, Pure and Applied Mathematics).

In 1999, undergraduate students began to enroll, and in 2004, graduate students were enrolled.

Basic Mathematics is a key discipline of Sichuan Province, and Information and Computing Science is a national characteristic major.

The School has 68 faculty members, including 10 professors, 26 vice associate professors, 17 master supervisors, 23 of them with doctors’ degree. Professor Zhang Zhirang is an Academic and Technology leader and Distinguished Teacher of Sichuan Province with special government allowances of the State Council.

The teaching reform and scientific research of the college serve for talent cultivation comprehensively. It has presided over and participated in a number of teaching and educational reform projects in China and Sichuan Province, and won 5 teaching achievement awards in Sichuan Province. "Numerical Solution of Differential Equations", "Advanced Mathematics", "Linear Algebra and Spatial Analytical Geometry" three courses were rated as provincial excellent courses.

In recent years, he has presided over 6 projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China, participated in more than 10 research projects as a member, and published more than 200 high-quality scientific research papers in mainstream journals at home and abroad.

College, the cultivation of the talent training scheme across the traditional science professional stereotypes, highlight the characteristics of general engineering colleges and universities of applied talents training. The program is beyond the model of traditional science. It is gradually based on the mathematics’ disciplines, using computer technology as a tool to satisfy the needs of society. The professional practice and employment station provides practice platforms for students in cooperation between enterprises and college. And there are four fields for undergraduates: Algorithm Analysis and Software Development; Data Analysis and Mining; Network Information Security; Mathematical Models and Applications.

The students of the school have been constantly showing their talents on the stage of competitions at home and abroad. They have won more than 60 national college students' and graduate students' mathematical modeling competition awards, nearly 10 national "Challenge Cup" extracurricular academic science and technology works and entrepreneurship competition awards, and participated in the ACM-ICPC international college students' programming competition Asia region competition. I won five Honorable mentions.

In recent years, most of the graduates are engaged in software design and development, information statistical analysis and processing in the IT industry, which is favored by employers. Some students have been admitted to the doctoral or master degree programs of famous universities at home and abroad for further study. The advantage of solid mathematical foundation determines that they have a good living space and development space.
