Abstract: Based on ESI research evaluation analysis tool, We took 29 universities in China stepped into the 1% ESI mathematical subject globally which was updated on November 2017 as the research object, the quantitative analysis was conducted for the mathematical thesis during the 2007-2016. It is found that the quantity and quality of the ESI mathematical thesis from the selected 29 universities are going up; the international studying trend of the mathematical discipline has already formed; the academic leading figure has showed up in some certain studying aspects; the studying hot spots are concentrated in optimized algorithm, fractional evolution equation, Navier-Stokes equation, etc. Policy suggestions are proposed in order to speed up the construction of world class universities and high level mathematics disciplines.

Key words: Mathematics, Discipline ranking；Social network analysis；University assessment, ESI
