On March 14, the Mathematics Discipline Development Seminar of Beijing University of Science and Technology was successfully convened. More than ten experts in the field of mathematics, including Zhang Ping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Zhang Ran, vice president of Jilin University, were invited to attend the seminar. Zhang Dalin, deputy secretary of the university's party committee, also participated in the meeting. Heads of relevant functional departments of the university, members of the leadership team of the School of Mathematics and Physics, and faculty representatives attended the event to jointly discuss strategies for the high-quality development of the mathematics discipline.

On behalf of the university, Zhang Dalin expressed gratitude to the experts, emphasizing that mathematics, as a foundational discipline, serves as a critical cornerstone for the university's disciplinary development and its pursuit of becoming a world-class university. He expressed hope that the experts would provide valuable insights and recommendations to help the mathematics discipline address its weaknesses and further strengthen its competitive advantages. Wu Yuan, Dean of the School of Mathematics and Physics, delivered a comprehensive overview of the current state and future strategic plans of the discipline, highlighting key achievements, analyzing existing opportunities and challenges, and outlining key strategic priorities—including disciplinary refinement and team building. Three faculty representatives also shared their latest academic achievements.

During the discussion session, experts engaged in in-depth deliberations on key issues, including the refinement of disciplinary directions and the development of talent pipelines. This seminar has delineated clear pathways for disciplinary development and fostered a shared consensus. The university will incorporate the experts 'recommendations, enhance its support efforts, and drive leapfrog development in the mathematics discipline, thereby providing robust support for the university's "Double First-Class" initiative.
