Machinery & Energetics

An important component of the qualitative training of future engineers is to increase their level of mathematical education. This involves understanding the essence of the basic concepts and statements studied in the course of higher mathematics, their interpretation in various sciences, the ability to build mathematical models and apply mathematical methods in solving applied problems. The article considers the main approaches for establishing intersubject connections in the teaching of higher mathematics to students of engineering specialties, in particular, in the field of energy. The importance of using tasks that illustrate the need to enter basic mathematical concepts, emphasizes the motivation and stimulates the study of mathematics. To implement the professional direction of the course of higher mathematics, great attention should be paid to applied problems that contribute to the development of research skills of future specialists. It is indicated that mathematical modeling is important for establishing intersubject connections and for forming a scientifically holistic perception of the world. In the article examples of introduction of mathematical concepts and their application in various spheres of human activity are considered. For the illumination of intersubject connections, the application of the boundary and the derivative of the function, differential equations in applied problems is considered. The expediency of using combined tasks that make it possible to understand the problem comprehensively is emphasized. In addition, the application of probabilitystatistical methods in solving problems in the electric power industry is considered.
