1. Discipline Introduction
Mathematics and Applied Mathematics can be traced back to the former Department of Mathematics of Ningbo Normal University in 1958. It is one of the earliest majors established in the school. In 1996, Ningbo University, which was established after the merger of the three universities, set up mathematics and applied mathematics for the first time in the Faculty of Science. Obtained a master's degree in basic mathematics in 2001, a master's degree in applied mathematics in 2006, and was listed as a provincial "13th Five-Year Plan" in 2016. In 2018, he was awarded a first-level discipline doctoral program and a first-level master's degree in mathematics. In 2020, it was listed as National first-class undergraduate professional construction point. In 2013, the Faculty of Science established the financial engineering major, relying on the second-level doctoral program of probability theory and mathematical statistics, statistics and quantitative economics under the first-level doctoral program of mathematics, and established the second-level program of the master of finance professional degree.
The first-level master's degree in mathematics includes four second-level disciplines: basic mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics. Fundamental Mathematics was granted the right to grant a master’s degree in 2001, relying on the key disciplines of Zhejiang Province and Ningbo City, with a basic mathematics research institute; Institute of Mathematics and Nonlinear Science Research Center. In 2018, the subject of mathematics was awarded a first-level doctoral degree by the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council. There are multiple second-level doctoral programs such as basic mathematics, applied mathematics, computational mathematics, probability theory and mathematical statistics. Mathematics is a key discipline in Zhejiang Province and a first-class subject in Ningbo.
