Role of mathematical knowledge in the educational process at technical educational institution

Abstract

The article is devoted to the place and role of mathematical disciplines for technical specialists. At technical university mathematical training is necessary for understanding the principles of design and modern methods and technologies use for the perception of scientific and technical concepts and ideas. Many processes are modeled, studied and predicted by its means. It must be taken into account that the scientific progress rapid development exacerbates the need in highly qualified personnel training in the field of engineering and technology. Mathematics provides the basis for other special disciplines study. The methods of educational activities enhancing in teaching mathematical disciplines are considered. The article draws a parallel: professional orientation of mathematics — result of academic achievement — the result of the EEEA (external evaluation of educational achievements) in mathematics. The working curriculum of Vilnius Gediminas technical university for mathematical cycle disciplines study is analyzed. Mathematical disciplines in accordance with specialties of KSTU (Karaganda State Technical University), compulsory and elective components are listed. The carried out analysis comes to the following conclusion — students’ mathematical training is not enough for modern technical specialists.
