Department of Mathematics, NTU The Department of Mathematics, NTU is an academic unit within National Taiwan University that offers undergraduate and postgraduate education and conducts research in pure mathematics and applied mathematics. The department has historical ties with prominent institutions such as National Taiwan University Hospital, Academia Sinica, National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei Medical University, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. The department collaborates with international partners including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, Princeton University, University of Tokyo, and Peking University.
History
The department traces its origins to early mathematics instruction during the era of Empire of Japan administration and developments following the Republic of China relocation, with connections to figures associated with Academia Sinica, Taiwan Provincial Government, National Taiwan University College of Science, Chiang Kai-shek era reforms, and collaborations influenced by scholars from University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, Yale University, University of Oxford, and École Normale Supérieure. Over decades, the department expanded alongside national projects such as partnerships with Industrial Technology Research Institute, Ministry of Education (Taiwan), Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan), Taiwan Power Company, and international programs linked to European Research Council, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, National Science Foundation (United States), Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, and Royal Society.
Organization and Administration
Administration is overseen by a chair and committees with reporting relationships to College of Science, NTU, National Taiwan University, Office of Academic Affairs (NTU), Office of Research and Development (NTU), University Senate (NTU), and external advisory boards that include members from Academia Sinica, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwanese Ministry of Education, National Science Council (Taiwan), and international partners such as European Space Agency, World Health Organization, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, and Asian Development Bank. The organizational structure comprises divisions tied to fields with liaisons to institutes like Institute of Mathematics (Academia Sinica), Institute of Applied Mechanics (NTU), Institute of Statistical Science (Academia Sinica), Department of Physics (NTU), Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering (NTU), and College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (NTU).
Academic Programs
The department offers bachelor's, master's, and doctoral programs aligned with curricula influenced by standards at University of Cambridge, Stanford University, ETH Zurich, University of Chicago, and Imperial College London. Degree programs include concentrations in algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, probability, statistics, numerical analysis, and computational mathematics with coursework referencing syllabi from Princeton University, Columbia University, University of California, Los Angeles, Seoul National University, and National University of Singapore. Joint and dual-degree options exist with units such as Department of Physics (NTU), Department of Chemistry (NTU), Department of Engineering (NTU), Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering (NTU), and exchange programs with Kyoto University, University of Hong Kong, Tsinghua University, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and Australian National University.
Research and Centers
Research activities span theoretical and applied areas with centers collaborating with Academia Sinica, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taiwan International Graduate Program, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Hsinchu Science Park, Taiwan Brain Project, and international labs at Max Planck Society, RIKEN, CNRS, CERN, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Specialized research groups focus on algebraic geometry, differential equations, stochastic processes, numerical linear algebra, optimization, data science, cryptography, and mathematical biology with grants from Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan), National Science Foundation (United States), European Research Council, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and private foundations such as Simons Foundation and Gates Foundation.
Faculty and Staff
Faculty include professors, associate professors, assistant professors, and adjuncts with backgrounds from institutions such as Harvard University, Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Cambridge, Stanford University, University of Tokyo, Peking University, Tsinghua University, University of California, Berkeley, and Columbia University. Staff roles coordinate academic affairs, research administration, outreach, and collaborations with units like Office of Sponsored Research (NTU), Library, NTU, Center for Teaching and Learning (NTU), Alumni Association (NTU), and external partners including Mathematical Society (various countries), American Mathematical Society, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and International Mathematical Union.
Student Life and Activities
Student organizations include mathematics clubs, honor societies, seminar series, and competition teams that engage with events such as International Mathematical Olympiad, Putnam Competition, Mathematical Olympiad Summer Program, ICML, NeurIPS, International Congress of Mathematicians, and regional meetings hosted with Academia Sinica, National Tsing Hua University, National Cheng Kung University, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and Tamkang University. Students participate in outreach with partners like Taipei City Government, Ministry of Education (Taiwan), Science Education Center, and industry internships at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Foxconn, ASUSTek Computer, and startups in Taipei Nangang Software Park.
