Abstract
The relevance of this article is due to the fact that the changed socio-economic conditions in the country, competition in the labor market in a new way raise the question of the need to significantly improve the quality of training of modern specialists in the field of engineering and technology. Increasing automation of modern production, its intensification, the need to improve the quality of manufactured products require a graduate of a technical university to be able to solve the problems of optimizing technological processes and modes on a solid scientific basis, calculate the parameters of their stability, the probability of rejection, and also implement a number of complex tasks of tool design, machines and mechanisms. Such production questions and creative tasks can be successfully solved only on the basis of the wide practical use of mathematical knowledge. As specially conducted studies and existing practice show, many graduates of technical specialties of universities, unfortunately, do not know how to creatively apply mathematical knowledge to solve new engineering and applied problems.
