Abstract:

The article discusses ICT development issues in teaching mathematics to engineering students in the United States. The nature of trends in the convergence of information systems in higher technical education and other tendencies in the United States are described in the article. The primary historical stages of computer-assisted mathematics training for engineering students in the United States are defined. The study of historical sources has allowed six stages to be recognized. The use of ICT for teaching mathematics is examined at each stage. It demonstrates the inconsistencies and key elements of using ICT to teach mathematics to engineering students. This article covers the first three stages (1965-1989) of computer-assisted mathematics training for engineering students in the United States.
