School of Mathematics and Information Science, formerly known as the Department of Mathematics, was founded in 1931. At present, the school consists of the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics and the Department of Information and Computing Science. The school is equipped with the key laboratory of Mathematics and its Application for universities in Guangxi, Institute of Information and Systems Engineering in Guangxi University, and Innovation team of "Operations Research and Optimal Control" in talents highland for universities in Guangxi. Moreover, there are five research institutions and innovation teams, such as high-level innovation team "Decision Model and its Application" and "Optimization Theory and Method and its Application" of universities in Guangxi. In addition,there are two research centers and one society affiliated to the school: Guangxi Applied Mathematics Center in Guangxi University, Guangxi Mathematical Research Center and Guangxi Mathematical Society.

The school was authorized to set up the master degree program in Basic Mathematics in 1984, master degree program of First-level Discipline in Mathematics in 2006, confer the doctoral degree of First-level Discipline in Mathematics in 2021.

As of December 2022, the school has 81 faculty members, including 65 full-time teachers and 16 teaching assistants and administrators. More than 68% of the full-time teachers have doctoral degrees, among which 19 are professors and 26 are associate professors. There are 10 doctoral supervisors and 28 master supervisors. The school currently has 3 National High-level Talents with Youth Project; 1 expert obtaining the special allowance of the State Council; 1 “Guangxi Bagui Scholar”, 3 talents in Training Program for 1,000 young and middle-aged backbone teachers in Guangxi, 2 second-level candidates for Guangxi "Shibaiqian" Talent Project, 1 winner of Guangxi May Day Labor Medal, 1 talent awarded the "One Hundred Young and Middle-aged Discipline Leaders in universities of Guangxi", 1 talent awarded the "Outstanding Talent in universities of Guangxi", 4 Junwu scholars of Guangxi University.

Graduate students are recruited and trained in five research areas: Basic Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, Probability and Mathematical Statistics, and Operations Research and Cybernetics.

In terms of undergraduate education, the school has established two majors, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Information and Computing science. Among them, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics is the first-class undergraduate program of state level and the five-star program of Guangxi Autonomous Region. Information and Computing Science is the district-level first-class undergraduate program. In addition, there are innovation training experimental classes for  “Mathematical Excellence”, “Mathematical Science”, and “Information Science”.

After years of construction and development, the school has formed its distinct research characteristics in Basic Mathematics, Operational Research and Cybernetics, Computational Mathematics and so on, and has made a series of research achievements. Over the past five years, talents in the school has published more than 200 papers in international well-known journals such as Adance in Mathematics、Arch.Rat.Mech.Anal.、Indiana Univ. Math.J.、SIAM J. Optim.、Comput. Optim.Appl..utomatica. The school has hosted 34 projects(1 key project) supported by National Natural Science Foundation and 5 projects supported by Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars of Guangxi Natural Science Foundation. Talents in our school have also published 6 academic monographs and won 3 second prizes of Guangxi Natural Science Award. All of these achievements strongly support the "Double First-Class"(world-class university with world-class disciplines) construction of the university and promote Guangxi's economic and social development.
