Abstract

The article is considered the possibility of solving the problems of mathemat-ical training of students of natural sciences. One of the main problems is the study of mathematical laws, theorems and formulas is carried out on an ab-stract level, isolated from the problems of biology, chemistry, geography etc., solved by mathematical tools. Having mastered the course of higher mathe-matics, learning to calculate derivatives and integrals, solve differential equa-tions and find statistical characteristics, students have no idea where this knowledge can be applied in their future specialty. This level of mathemati-cal training of students seriously reduces the space of professional tasks within their competence. The article presents the possible ways to eliminate the mathematical isolation and create interdisciplinary connections. The au-thor presents tasks of biological, chemical, ecological and other content which allows demonstrating the relationship of mathematics with the natural sciences increases the level of motivation and mathematical culture of the students of natural sciences.
