[Purpose/Signficance] At present,universities in China are carrying out "double first-class" construction,which brings new opportunities for the development of disciplines in China's universities.In this paper,five universities including Peking University,Lanzhou University,Shanghai Jiaotong University,Tsinghua University and Wuhan University which ranked the first 1% of ESI were selected to conduct comparative analysis,and found out the comparative advantages and shortcomings.It provided guidance for characteristic development,integrated development and cooperative development of subjects in universities.[Method/Process] By means of bibliometrics,through the comparative analysis of the number of papers,high-cited authors,cooperative institutions,subject branches,research hotspots,etc.,We found the scientific research performances in the development of mathematics disciplines in different universities.[Result/Conclusion] The number of papers in five universities was steadily increasing;The highly quality papers played leading roles in the development of the subjects;The research of mathematics discipline more and more reflected the intersection and integration of disciplines;The National Natural Science Foundation of China was the main force to help the discipline construction;Cooperation with High level institutions was an effective way to improve the influence of disciplines;The research hotspots in the past ten years mainly focused on equation,calculation,statistics,optimization,etc.;The guarantee rate of the core collection of mathematics still needs to be improved;The construction of teaching staff in Lanzhou University and Wuhan University needs to be strengthened.
