Features of application of mathematical knowledge and skills in the training of technical specialties
Abstract
The proposed article is devoted to the problem of defining the subject of mathematics as the main tool in the training of specialists in technical specialties in agricultural universities. Different approaches to determining the essence of mathematics and its content are analyzed. It is proposed to consider ways to apply mathematical knowledge and methods in solving various problems that arise in students of technical specialties during training and after graduation.
The important role of mathematical sciences in the system of higher education is obvious. Today, it is difficult to imagine any branch of science, especially technology, where mathematics would not be found. Mathematics is a universal language in general, especially in natural sciences such as physics, chemistry and biology, where there is a need to calculate the square root, find the integral or derivative, solve a differential equation or construct a graph. A universal feature of mathematics is that it is the main field of knowledge in operations with abstract entities and their relationships.
The main feature of mathematics is that it is an exact science that does not tolerate various speculations and arbitrariness.
The language of mathematics can accurately describe any structure of relationships, including various mechanized processes or natural phenomena, it can be simple quadratic equations or complex differential equations. The correct formulation of a mathematical problem makes it possible not only to simulate situations, but also offers several options for the development of events. If you get any results, even with the unknown, you can get a formula, the solution of which is familiar to us from the curriculum. Thus, the embodiment of mathematical calculations can be found around you: in complex engineering devices and architectural structures, in the automotive and aircraft industries, medicine and health care, weather forecasts and works of art, and so on.
The importance of studying mathematics for students of technical specialties is undeniable - mathematics occupies an important place in their training. Its formulas and methods of calculation are used in the study of other subjects, such as: applied mathematics, theory of mechanisms and machines, materials science, electrical engineering and electronics and others.
Of course, there is no denying that mathematical education is essential for the training of specialists in technical specialties. It is absolutely clear that in order to master basic mathematical skills you need a desire to learn.
Therefore, every student who has entered a technical specialty, including agricultural engineering or transport technology, can master mathematical science, which will help him to acquire a large amount of knowledge in other disciplines.
And new opportunities will give him a strong impetus for personal development and will be the key to success in the profes-sion.
