You’ll learn to make interdisciplinary connections between the branches of physics—high energy physics, astrophysics, atomic, molecular, and optics physics, condensed matter physics—and other scientific fields.

For the Computational Media and Arts specialisation. The Red Bird MPhil Program explores a student-centered interdisciplinary education paradigm through guided learning, creating an optimal growth environment for future strategic engineers and scientists to discover themselves, unleash their potential, and continuously improve their abilities.

This major is a provincial-level professional comprehensive reform pilot major. The trained students have the basic theories of mathematics science, have good teacher professionalism and the ability to engage in mathematics teaching research, can use mathematics science and computer knowledge to solve practical problems, and can be competent in mathematics teaching in junior high schools and secondary vocational schools.

We live in an era where the availability of unprecedented amounts of information and computing resources is erasing the traditional boundaries between disciplines. This is creating new opportunities for multidisciplinary teams to actively engage with and to change the world around them. Experts who combine deep disciplinary knowledge in Mathematics and Computer Science with interdisciplinary skills will play a leading role in such multidisciplinary teams. Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences is a highly interdisciplinary field which integrates concepts and principles from Mathematics and Computer Science and applies them to Sciences, Engineering, Humanities, and Business. Its distinctive character is an emphasis on modeling and computational thinking that is firmly based on solid theoretical foundations.

The School of Mathematic Science, formerly known as the Mathematics Department of Shandong Normal University’s branch in Liaocheng, was founded in 1974. It was renamed Mathematics Department of Liaocheng Teachers College in 1981 and changed again to the Department of Mathematics and System Science in 1999. In 2003, with the establishment of Liaocheng University, it was renamed the School of Mathematical Science of Liaocheng University. For more than 40 years, with the successive leadership and faculty’s joint efforts and hard work, great changes have taken place in various aspects, such as teaching, scientific research, education level and scale, faculty structure, personnel training, professional and disciplinary construction, etc. 　　The number of current faculty is 84, including 8 professors and 23 associate professors, 47 teachers are doctors or doctoral candidates. In this school are one double-employed Academician, two distinguished professors, and 15 part-time professors. Among the full-time teachers are one national outstanding teacher, three national excellent tutors for Master of Education, one provincial outstanding teacher, and one provincial excellent tutor for postgraduates. 　　The School of Mathematical Science covers three undergraduate majors -- mathematics and applied mathematics, information and computational science, and accountancy. The first two majors are provincial featured majors. Mathematics and applied mathematics are majors fully supported by provincial finance. Accountancy, as an auxiliary major for double majors and double degrees, is a popular major at Liaocheng University. At present, there are more than 2000 full-time undergraduates and about 50 postgraduates in this school.

Mathematics underpins much of the modern world and is fundamental to science, technology, business and finance. In the BSc Applied Mathematics programme, you will study essential mathematical topics as well as a range of different applications.

This major trains compound talents with a solid mathematical foundation, proficient computer skills, strong foreign language skills, preliminary scientific research training, good scientific literacy and engineering awareness, and certain software development capabilities and financial knowledge. This major is divided into two directions: software development and financial mathematics. After graduation, he mainly engaged in software development and Internet application work in IT companies.

Master in Mathematics has the advantages of the intersection of mathematical sciences and information disciplines, and cultivates high-quality applied talents for all kinds of information data technology and computing technology, as well as innovative talents with a solid foundation in mathematics.

The PhD in Mathematics degree program trains students for careers pursuing research in either academia or industry. The program provides rigorous classroom training in the theory of mathematics and in its applications to a broad range of disciplines. It provides students with the opportunity to work with faculty on advanced research topics over a wide range of theoretical and applied topics.

Many of tomorrow’s innovations in fields such as fast computing, renewable energy generation, batteries, plastics, textiles, and transportation will rely on the unique and novel properties of materials. The development of such materials requires integrated knowledge in physics, chemistry, and biology, along with advanced mathematics and computation. The Materials Science major introduces students to the interdisciplinary study in materials science, which includes atomic and molecular structure, mechanical and thermodynamic properties, electric and magnetic properties, and fabrication methods and applications, together with disciplinary training in either physics or chemistry.
