Disciplines taught


Mathematics

Mathematics has spatial forms as its object and gives quantitative relations of the surrounding world. The mathematical apparatus makes it possible to study variables that are functionally dependent on each other. Mathematics in modern conditions is the theoretical basis of technical and natural sciences. Knowledge of the methods of mathematics, the ability to practically apply them in real life, are necessary for technical specialists. The general course of mathematics is the foundation of the mathematical education of a specialist and within the framework of this course, orientation is carried out on the application of mathematical methods in professional activity. The theoretical course of the discipline "Mathematics" is designed to study the basic concepts of higher mathematics and their applications within this discipline. The course is aimed at studying fundamental concepts, laws and theory of classical mathematics in technical universities. Promotes the development of mathematical intuition, the education of mathematical culture, the ability to use the studied techniques and methods to solve specific problems, and ultimately - the formation of a scientific worldview and logical thinking.
