The professional training of mathematics students is notable for the large volume and complexity of the content of educational material. In this regard, the problem of conceptual understanding is relevant. Since many concepts in mathematics have a high level of abstraction, studying them, it is essential to create an image of an object through various forms of knowledge representation. Computer simulation in the study of probability theory and its applications (stochastics) help students understand the essence of random phenomena and forms the ability to analyze statistical data. Students whose curriculum includes a computer simulations workshop in the study of stochastics, not only solve problems better but also higher evaluate the value of probabilistic ideas and methods and have a lower level of anxiety. Due to the use of simulations in teaching mathematics students on stochastics, we use a computer as a means of automation of calculations, means of learning, and a tool of knowledge, which corresponds to the principle of the integrated use of information computer technology in the educational process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
