The School of Mathematics began to enrol undergraduates since 1977, and currently has 3 undergraduate majors: information and computing science, mathematics and applied mathematics, and statistics. Among them, information and computing science is one of the first batch national majors and mathematics and applied mathematics is the first batch of first class major and comprehensive reform pilot majors of Anhui province.  Three undergraduate majors enrol about 180 students in total each year.

The School of Mathematics is one of the earliest institutions to recruit graduate students in mathematics disciplines in domestic universities. It obtained the second discipline in computational mathematics for master program in 1981, the second discipline in applied mathematics for master program in 2000, and first discipline in mathematics for master in 2011. There are more than 50 master’s advisors and 50-60 postgraduates enrolled every year, and continuously cultivating up to over a thousand master degree graduates. In 2012, the school independently added the second discipline in information and computing for doctoral program, and received first discipline in mathematics for doctoral program in 2017. There are 10 doctoral advisors, and continuously cultivating up to over 40 doctoral degree graduates. The school obtained two second discipline in applied statistics and network and information security for master programs.

The main research directions of the School of Mathematics are: basic algebra and algebraic number theory, algebraic coding and cryptography, computational geometry, numerical approximation, differential equations and dynamic systems, operations research and optimization, multivariate statistical analysis, etc. Two directions including algebraic coding and numerical approximation are acting as the leading rolls of the world.
