Formation of financial literacy of future engineers in higher mathematics classes

Abstract

The rapid spread of financial relations to all spheres of human activity actualizes the problem of increasing financial literacy of the population. In the modern conditions of the development of the state, the reform of the economy, education, financial culture, the key moment of progress is the formation of financial literacy of future specialists, in particular engineers. Higher mathematics belongs to one of the main fundamental disciplines in the training program for future engineers in technical universities, in the classes of which it is possible to form financial literacy. Future specialists of technical specialties, thanks to the course of higher mathematics, learn mathematical methods, acquire skills for solving basic types of problems and, most importantly, acquire knowledge in mathematics, which are tools of financial literacy. The problem of financial literacy has acquired wide relevance and is beginning to be investigated by many scientists. The issue of improving financial literacy is considered in the works of both scientists - economists and scientists-teachers on the theory and methodology of vocational education and methods of teaching disciplines of the mathematical cycle.
