Providing the Fundamentalisation of Operations Research Learning Using MAXIMA System

Abstract

In the article, the problems of using the systems of computer mathe- matics (SCM) as a tool to provide the fundamental component of operations re- search learning and students research activities support are considered. The role of SCM in the process of bachelors of informatics training and special aspects of pedagogical applications of these systems in the “Operations research” study is defined. The analysis of the basic concepts of the fundamentalisation of educa- tion and in particular the basic concepts of the fundamentalisation of informatics disciplines learning is summarized. The attempt to distinguish explicitly and specify the fundamental concepts in the content of “Operation research” learning is made. The method of “Operation research” study using Maxima system as a tool to support the basic concepts learning and an investigation is approved. The results of the pedagogical experiment on MAXIMA application to support the fundamental component of learning in the course of “Operation research” study and the analysis of its results are reported.
