It is important to analyze the influencing factors of college students' enthusiasm to learn professional courses, in order to fully mobilize their enthusiasm to learn professional courses, enrich their professional knowledge, and improve the quality of university teaching. This study uses questionnaires and multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the main factors influencing the enthusiasm to learn professional courses of college students majoring in mathematics and came to the following conclusions: (1) Considering the four dimensions of personal, school, society and family, personal factors are the main factors influencing the enthusiasm to learn professional courses of college students majoring in mathematics. (2) Considering the specific factors, self-management, teacher-student relationship, and employment situation are the main factors influencing the enthusiasm to learn professional courses of college students majoring in mathematics. Based on the above analysis, targeted suggestions are made: First, students themselves should play active initiative and strengthen their self-management awareness. Secondly, teachers of professional courses should strengthen communication with students and establish a harmonious relationship between teachers and students. Third, society should actively provide a platform for college students to choose their careers and employment, and create a fair and just social employment environment.
