Relevance of Teaching Mathematics in a Medical University

Abstract

Research relevance: the article discusses relevance of problem in teaching higher mathematics, considers examples from some sections of mathematics with medical interpretations. Unfortunately, despite the obvious importance of mathematical training for medical doctor profession, its necessity poorly understood not only by junior students, but also by some teachers of specialized departments in medical universities. Research objectives: to reveal the relevance and importance in teaching the mathematics subject in medical universities. Research materials and methods: development of mathematical methods, establishment of specific patterns inherent in random phenomena and the problems of probability theory for teaching mathematics in a medical university. Research results: students must learn to set mathematical problems in medical area and understand tools and how to apply in solving these problems. Conclusions: to improve the mathematics teaching quality to future doctors, a transition is required from the classical teaching of the discipline to teaching methods of technological application of mathematical methods in medical practice.
