In addition, masters will be trained strictly and heightened in both application practice and independent research work to improve the masters' innovation capability and problem-solving ability with a solid mathematical foundation. After graduation, they will be occupied in the fields of teaching and research, further education and also in other types of work.
II. Program Duration
  The educational system for master degree is three years. The study time for master (including leave of absence) must be on less than five years.
III. Main Research Fields
  1.Nonlinear partial differential equations and its application
  2.Differential Equations and Differential Dynamical Systems
  3.Fractal Geometry and Topology Dynamical Systems
  4.Cryptography
IV. Culturing Pattern
  It is that the instructor responsibility for postgraduate training. Masters should establish culturing plan under the guidance of own instructor within two weeks. Credit system will be used. Masters must complete the study of degree courses and professional foundation course, obtain the required credits, and take part in the medium term examination in accordance to Master Medium Term Examination Assessment Methods of South China University of Technology before the end of the fourth semester, and completed social practice.
