Mathcad Application to Math Problem Solving for the Students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Riga Technical University

Abstract

Including Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) teaching technologies in the higher
education we have to be ready to accept the new methods and
modules of teaching, which include multidimensional teaching
object and lecture forms, which are supported by the latest
technological developments. Program development of
mathematics consists of the analysis of the present program
extent and content and the understanding of the achievable
competences. The programs of mathematics and the didactics
have to be changed based on ICT (putting greater emphasis on
the application of mathematics by constructing the teaching
materials based on the modern technologies and the availability
of the Internet).
