With roots dating back to 1958, the School of Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology is a dynamic academic community dedicated to excellence in both research and education. Building on a strong tradition in pure and applied mathematics, the School advances fundamental mathematical inquiry while engaging with important problems arising from science, engineering, technology, and broader societal needs.

The School’s research is broadly organized around pure mathematics, computational and applied mathematics, statistics, and interdisciplinary research related to the geosciences. Interdisciplinary work at the interface of mathematics and the geosciences is one of the School’s distinctive strengths, especially in mathematical geophysics, computational geophysics, wave propagation, scientific computing, data assimilation, and AI-enabled geophysical application. At the same time, the School maintains broad research activity across core areas of mathematics and statistics, including analysis, algebra and number theory, differential equations, dynamical systems, scientific computing, inverse problems, operations research, optimization, probability, and statistics. Across these fields, the School emphasizes rigor, originality, and depth, while fostering meaningful connections between mathematical theory and interdisciplinary applications.

Supported by Harbin Institute of Technology’s strong foundation in science and engineering, the School is committed not only to advancing mathematical research, but also to educating the next generation of mathematicians, statisticians, and quantitative researchers. Through foundational scholarship, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international engagement, it continues to cultivate an open and active environment for discovery, learning, and academic exchange.
