Abstract

The paper dwells on the content of teaching the course “Fundamentals of mathematical information
processing” to students of various specialities. The author examines both the axiomatic and mathematical
modelling methods as the main mathematical and general scientific ways of knowing. The author
supposes that these two methods predetermine both the application of mathematics in other sciences
and the content of teaching students to use these methods in their work. Therefore, having analyzed
scientific and methodical literature and using examples, the author shows that students should be taught
to: 1) analyze existing mathematical models; 2) create and analyze new mathematical models and
interpret the obtained solutions; 3) study the methods of mathematics itself to make right decisions when
working with created models. The main ideas and methods should be taught starting from simple and
clear examples, gradually coming to solving specific professional tasks.

Keywords

fundamentals of mathematical information processing, axiomatic method, mathematical modelling
