MODELING OF SOME OBJECTS BY MEANS OF INTEGRAL CALCULUS BY JUNIOR STUDENTS OF MARINE SPECIALTIES

Abstract

The article is devoted to the urgent issue of the applied orientation of the disciplines of the mathematical cycle, modeling of engineering processes by means of the traditional course of higher mathematics and the use of the theory of the center of mass.

The issue of the integration of competencies of professional training of river and sea transport specialists in the system of mathematical disciplines has always been of interest. Given that this specialty is regulated and implemented in world society, a number of requirements are put forward to the mathematical knowledge of junior students of marine specialties. It is noted that some issues of engineering mathematics, which are reflected in the international requirements of IMO Modal courses, are at the same time not completely reflected in the course of mathematical disciplines of marine institution of higher education.

The proposed tasks fully reflect the connection of mathematical training with educational and professional training programs for river and sea transport specialists, the Higher Education Standards of Ukraine and the international IMO requirements. Each task includes a commentary on the solution, and is also considered from the standpoint of both the tradition of teaching higher mathematics and with the help of the theory of the center of mass.

In turn, the integral method for solving problems of finding a centroid allows not only improving basic knowledge of higher mathematics, but also interest and motivate students to increase the level of mathematical professional skills, the formation of professional problems which will mainly be based on fundamental mathematical statements, methods, tools .

Further research requires the development and improvement of the methodological system of assignments for the disciplines of the mathematical cycle, in accordance with the requirements of educational and professional training programs for river and sea transport specialists, Higher Education Standards and IMO Modal Courses. In the aspect of this direction of research development, particular attention is required to the conceptual questions of Higher Engineering Mathematics, the integrability of mathematical and professional competencies.
