The Department of Mathematical Information and Statistics of Zhejiang University of Science and Technology was established in 2003. Now it has two professional: One is Information and Computational Science, which is the "13th five-year plan" specialty of Zhejiang Province; Another one is Actuarial statistics and Finance, which is for International students.
The Department of Mathematical Information and Statistics has made considerable progress in the fields of faculty team, professional orientation condensation, platform construction and personal training etc. "Applied Mathematics" and "basic mathematics" are the provincial key disciplines, and the Mathematics discipline is "13th five-year plan" first-class discipline of Zhejiang Province. It owns one first-level discipline academic postgraduate degree point--"Mathematics", and one secondary discipline postgraduate degree point--"Engineering simulation calculation and statistics", which can recruit both domestic and international graduate students. At present, there are more than 30 postgraduates, 20 of whom are international graduate students. There is an institute of applied mathematics in this department, also.
The Department of Mathematical Information and Statistics has a reasonably structured and high-quality faculty. At present there are 33 academic teachers, among which 6 are professors, 7 associate professors, 24 are teachers with Ph. D. degrees, 1 is Zhejiang province 151 level 1 talent, 1 is distinguished teacher of ZUST, 1 with excellent university teachers of Zhejiang, 2 are academic leader of middle-aged & young people of Zhejiang Province, 1 is Young Talents of ZUST, 2 are doctoral supervisor and 7 are master’s supervisor.
