Faculty of Mathematics, Hanoi Pedagogical University 2,was established in 1967. After moved to different regions to avoid the war, in 1975, the Faculty was moved to Xuan Hoa town, which now is Xuan Hoa ward, Phuc Yen city, Vinh Phuc province. At present, there are 30 staff members, including 28 lecturers and 02 administrative employees. Among them, there are 09 PhD, 13 MSc and 05 BA. In terms of titles, Faculty has 01 Assoc.

In terms of training, Faculty of Mathematics currently provides full-time training of Bachelor of Mathematics Teacher Education with approximately 200 students per year and training for part-time students. Regarding postgraduate training, the Faculty has two Master's programs in Mathematical Analysis and Applied Mathematics and one Ph.D. program in Mathematical Analysis with a total of 100 students per year. In addition, the Faculty is responsible for teaching some mathematics modules to students of other faculties in the university.                 

Closely linked to the establishment and development process of Hanoi Pedagogical University 2, the Faculty’s history and development can be divided into 3 periods:

 

The first period, the establishment, was from 1967 to 1975. At this time, many lecturers and students of the Faculty became soldiers to defend the nation. When the war was over, along with many other units, the Faculty was moved to the town of Xuan Hoa, Me Linh district, Hanoi.

Not only did lecturers and students of the Faculty have to teach and study but they also participated in the construction of the University’s infrastructure. Steering the boat of Faculty of Mathematics during this period was the late meritorious teacherMr. Do Minh Tu (1975-1981), then the latemeritorious teacher Assoc. Prof. Doctor Nguyen Quy Khang (1981-1991). Step by step, lecturers and students in the Faculty overcame the difficulties, focused on improving the quality of training and achieved important results.

The training quality of Faculty of Mathematics has now been confirmed from the positive feedback of employers, from the success of the National Mathematics Olympiads for students, etc. Faculty of Mathematics, Hanoi Pedagogical University 2 is among the top-ranked Mathematics Faculties in the country, being priority choices for high school students in the localities. Every year, the Faculty of Mathematics holds Mathematics Olympiad for students who are interested in mathematics. From this competition, the Faculty select a team to participate in National Mathematics Olympiads in which many students have won high prizes. Thereby, they have grown up, being honored to become teachers and successful in scientific research.

 

At the beginning of the 21st century, with a strategic vision of training to meet the social requirements and with the approval of Ministry of Education and Training, Faculty of Mathematics opened Master programs in Mathematics Analysis, Applied Mathematics and PhD program in Mathematics Analysis. With the aim of improving the quality of higher education and meeting the demand ofhighly-qualified human resources, in the school year of 2015-2016, Faculty of Mathematics advised the University to establish collaboration with the Institute of Mathematics, Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology. As a result,Mathematics Teacher Education fast-track program andMathematics Teacher Education program taught in English were developed and implemented. In addition, the faculty also works with many domestic and international institutions of research and training.

 

In the era of education innovation, Faculty of Mathematics always plays an important role in the contribution of Hanoi Pedagogical University 2 to the nation’s education.
