Applied Mathematics is dedicated to the development of mathematical theories and methods for addressing complex problems in science, engineering, finance, and the natural sciences. Through modelling, analysis, and computation, it provides a rigorous framework for understanding, simulating, and optimising complex systems, playing a central role in scientific discovery and technological innovation. At the same time, the Department places a strong emphasis on research in pure mathematics, seeking to advance the understanding of the fundamental structures and underlying principles of mathematics, and providing a solid theoretical foundation for the development of the mathematical sciences and innovation in applied mathematics.
The Department of Applied Mathematics offers comprehensive undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programmes. It is responsible for the development of foundational and advanced mathematics curricula within the School of Mathematics and Physics. The Department emphasises the cultivation of mathematical thinking and research capability, supporting students in progressing from foundational training to frontier research, and is committed to educating high-level talents with independent research ability and international perspective. Graduates have achieved strong outcomes in both academia and related industries.
The Department has an internationally diverse faculty whose research spans a broad range of areas in both applied and pure mathematics. Research strengths in applied mathematics include numerical analysis and scientific computing, machine learning, control and optimisation, operations research, continuum modelling, and nonlinear optimization and variational analysis, while research in pure mathematics encompasses differential geometry, topology, and related foundational areas. The Department’s research has gained wide recognition and has a significant impact within the international mathematical community.
