| Annotation: | The article presents an urgent problem of teaching the basics of higher mathematics and data analysis to students of humanities at an economic university while studying the disciplines of Mathematics and Digital Mathematics. The problem of teaching a school mathematics course is considered using specific examples. The possibilities of using MS Excel computing tools and the R language to solve technically complex problems are analyzed. Examples of a successful combination of different methods in the study of mathematics by students while mastering the basics of linear programming using the Moodle computer learning system are given. The structure of the textbook on mathematics for students studying in the field of sociology is described, which is used by the teacher for conducting seminars, and by students for doing homework and independent work at seminars, including when performing test tasks compiled in an electronic training course developed using the Moodle system, which received the highest score upon testing. The use of tools such as Excel and R-Studio in teaching increases the ability to make mathematics relevant by linking it with computer technology that students use on a daily basis. In the teaching methodology, a result-oriented approach is essential, in which the main attention is paid to the development of students’ competences and skills, as well as minimal theoretical content. Interdisciplinary communication, problem solving and the application of knowledge in many areas of professional activity have now increased. The integral approach proposed in the methodology is to respond more comprehensively and flexibly to the needs of a wide range of students, as well as to their ability to understand the goals of applying mathematics in the real world. The use of the possibilities of an electronic educational course in mathematics in the educational process makes it possible to digitally modernize teaching methods and improve the quality of students’ knowledge. Digital transformations in the methodology of teaching mathematics to students studying in the humanities are necessary. | ||
