  The Grey System Theory was first introduced in the 1980s by Prof. Deng Julong at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. It is a method which focuses on poor information data. After decades of development, the Grey system Theory has become a local original theory with great international influence. In order to popularize and inherit the Grey System Theory, Prof. Liu Sifeng and his team in Grey System Research Institute of NUAA did a lot of work. As a result, this course has been selected as the National Excellent Course in 2008, the National Excellent Resource Sharing Course in 2013, the National Excellent Online Open Course in 2018, and National first-class undergraduate courses in 2020. The supporting textbooks were selected as the "Eleventh Five-Year" and "Twelfth Five-Year" national planning textbooks and the "Famous Masterpiece Series" of Science Press. A variety of English works have been selected as textbooks by foreign universities, which has a great impact all over the world.
