Applying information technologies to mathematical education of IT specialists in English-speaking academic groups

Abstract

Knowledge of the basic theoretical foundations and possession of the skills of applying Mathematical Analysis, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Analytic Geometry, Discrete Mathematics, Numerical Methods, Theory of Probability and Mathematical Statistics are important for the professional training of future specialists in the field of information technologies. Since future specialists in the field of information technology require a deep mathematical training, the curricula of IT specialties usually contain various mathematical disciplines from this list. A specialist of any IT profile must have specific professional features and competencies. These characteristics of future IT professionals should preferably be formed in the process of studying both special and general scientific disciplines. The result of the educational process is formation of both hard and soft skills of students. This article is devoted to the study of some features of the use of information technology in the process of teaching some questions of mathematical disciplines in English to students of IT profile who are not native speakers of this language.
