THE USE OF MATHEMATICAL PACKAGES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF METHODOLOGICAL SUPPORT OF PROBABILISTIC DISCIPLINES IN A TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

We consider the experience of teaching probability cycle, including the courses “Probability Theory”, “Mathematical Statistics” and “Theory of Stochastic Processes”, to students of technical universities with the use of interactive computer systems [or mathematical packages (MPs)]. The goals and objectives of courses within engineering education are described. Methodical problems of teaching probabilistic disciplines, the basic ideas of their resolution, methods and techniques of teaching are considered, as well as the role of using information technologies, methodological aspects of their use in the solution of specific applied tasks.
