MSc Mathematics and Applied Mathematics
About
Xiamen University's School of Mathematical Sciences (SMS) started the Mathematics and Applied Mathematics program in 1923, making it one of the university's original offerings. Chen Jingrun, a renowned mathematician, participated in this program from 1949 to 1953. According to US News & World Report's "2018 Best Universities for Mathematics," XMU is placed 81st internationally and 10th in China. Since 2018, XMU's mathematics department has been ranked in the top 0.5% internationally in Essential Science Indicators (ESI), with annual improvements. Currently, SMS has 86 full-time faculty members. The school's faculty publishes over 150 SCI journal papers each year. SMS publishes the Journal of Mathematical Study and collaborates with Global Science Press on the East Asian Journal of Applied Mathematics, a SCIE journal. XMU welcomes around 100 mathematicians each year, thanks to its collaboration with global universities. In 2019, Xiamen University constructed the TianYuan Mathematical Centre in Southeast China.
Xiamen University Malaysia's Master of Science in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics aims to achieve two objectives. The goal is to provide rigorous instruction to bright mathematics students, equipping them with the necessary tools and abilities to pursue a PhD in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. The other goal is to offer advanced mathematics instruction to scientists and engineers working in highly technological fields like artificial intelligence and financial engineering.
