Mathematics Program

zhang24619@gtiit.edu.cn

I come from the Mathematics Department and have been immersing myself in physics courses. I’m excited to enroll in the “Mathematics+Physics” program at GTIIT, as I’m passionate about uncovering the physics meanings behind mathematical derivations. Currently, I’m involved in a physics research project and look forward to where this journey will lead!
