Founded in 1978, the Department of Mathematics offers two undergraduate majors of mathematics and applied mathematics, information and computer science and one teacher-training three-year program major. There are six teaching and research sections which include analytical mathematics, geometry and algebra, applied mathematics, methodology of middle school mathematics teaching, advanced mathematics, information and computing science. We have set up mathematics modeling laboratory, science and project computation lab, mathematics research institute, and a reference room for the Department of Mathematics. We have a strong teaching team of an appropriate structure with complete basic teaching facilities. There are 1,585 students out of 25 classes.
    For the past thirty years, the Department of Mathematics has been consistently sticking to the department-running guideline of serving basic education and local economy to strive for the department-running thought and constant exploration of new department-running approach by strengthening the management of teaching, optimizing structure of curriculum, promoting scientific research to serve teaching better and by making constant efforts for development through innovation. A conspicuous department-running feature has been formed through down-to-earth style of work in teaching, scientific research and teaching administration.
    Through constant strengthening of teaching staff construction, a full-time teaching team is formed that has high political and ideological qualities, a strong teaching ability, a? comparatively reasonable structure in age and rank, an increasingly high level of scientific research, creativity and career-oriented spirit, devotion to the teaching of mathematics, and adherence to imparting knowledge and fostering students. The department has 69 staff members, of whom 60 are full-time teachers, including 21 professors and associate professors (accounting for 35%), 38 lecturers and one assistant. Four full-time teachers are PhDs and 26 full-time teachers are masters (accounting for 50%).
    For the past few years, there are 15 items of scientific research projects at provincial, departmental, and collegiate levels. The number of published papers is 252. The number of monographs and textbooks is 12. Elementary mathematics is the key discipline of the university. The key courses under construction include advanced mathematics, advanced algebra, mathematical analysis, analytical geometry, probability, and numerical value analysis. Advanced mathematics, advanced algebra, and mathematical analysis are the classic courses in 2007 of the university.
For the past thirty years, the Department of Mathematics has fostered and sent thousands of graduates to the society. They have fine qualifications, excellent grades and good manners. They have a solid foundation in the basics of their majors and have certain ability in scientific research. A lot of them have become the pillar and backbone of their work unit and are favorably commented.
