The mathematics discipline of the university ranks among the top 1% in the global ESI rankings.

II. Institute of Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences

The Institute of Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences is established on the strength of the university's leading disciplines such as information and communication engineering, computer science and technology, cyberspace security, and artificial intelligence, focusing on cutting-edge research in pure and applied mathematics.

Key Development Directions

1. Field of Applied Mathematics：Based on the current development status of the University and in light of the practical demands of information-related disciplines, priority will be given to the development of the following subfields of applied mathematics: Information Theory, Coding and Cryptography, Mathematical Foundations of Signal Processing, Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science, Mathematical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, and Mathematical Foundations of Statistics and Data Science.

2. Field of Pure Mathematics：Leveraging the development opportunities of applied mathematics, we will vigorously recruit talents in the field of pure mathematics, covering specialties in analysis (functional analysis, harmonic analysis, stochastic analysis, etc.), algebra (homological algebra, algebraic K-theory, number theory, representation theory of algebras, etc.), geometry and topology (differential geometry, algebraic topology, differential topology, etc.), and algebraic geometry. We will also plan and develop corresponding research directions to shore up the weak links in pure mathematics research.

Research Areas in Urgent Demand：Optimization, Statistics, Number Theory, Algebra, Algebraic Geometry, Cryptography, Information Theory, Theoretical Computer Science, Data Science, Coding Theory, Discrete Mathematics

Research Areas in General Demand：Harmonic Analysis, Stochastic Analysis, Functional Analysis, Differential Geometry, Algebraic Topology, Differential Topology
