National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) is known for its long educational history in Taiwan. Belonging to the elite education system during the period of Japanese rule, this institution was established in 1922 in the name of Taihoku High School. As the unique preparatory school of such elite system in Taiwan, those graduated from this school could directly enter most of imperial universities in Japan during the time. The Department of Mathematics at NTNU was established in 1946 and has inherited this long educational tradition.

Besides graduate courses offered in NTNU, students may also take courses in NTU (whose campus is just next to ours). In addition, one may participate various activities (e.g., seminars, lectures, conferences, workshops) held in Institute of Mathematics of Academia Sinica (AS), and Mathematics Division of National Centre for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS), both locate in NTU campus next to ours. With the nearby locations of mathematics organizations of NTU, NCTS, AS, and NTNU, the south of Taipei city is providing a great atmosphere in mathematical learning, training and researches.
In addition to mathematical researches, our department is also very active in Mathematical Education and History of Mathematics. Several faculty members act as chief editors, (editorial board) members of important journals or international societies.

In general, mathematical training provides a variety of future developments. Our undergraduate program not only encourages students devoting to rigorous training in mathematics, but also developing their interests in other disciplines, for instance, natural sciences, engineering, financial and economics.

At the graduate level, rigorous mathematical training in researches becomes the main focus. However, the future career for well-trained students in mathematics is not restricted to academic research positions. Nowadays, more and more industrial positions have been increasingly created. This trend is expected to last at least for a decade.
