Algebraic Curves of Higher Orders in Teaching Higher Mathematics. Curves of Higher Order
Abstract
Context and relevance. In the working programs of the disciplines "Geometry and Topology", "Mathematical Analysis", "Mathematics" and others, included in the educational programs of specialties in information technologies, an important place is occupied by the concept of an algebraic curve. The development of this concept requires students to have the ability to think abstractly and often cause significant difficulties. Purpose. To improve the quality of learning the educational material on disciplines related to the concept of an algebraic curve, while using software tools for visualization various algebraic curves and families of algebraic curves. Another equally important goal is to describe issues that can become the topics of term papers and theses. Hypothesis. The use of software tools for visualizing various algebraic curves and families of algebraic curves allows the teacher to present the material in the most understandable way, and students to better understand the material and acquire the skills of solving problems on the construction of algebraic curves. Methods and materials. Most of the exercises in this article involve writing a computer program that visualizes algebraic curves and their families. Results. A system of tasks has been developed that allows students to construct cycloidal curves using computer programs. Conclusions. The use of the developed system of educational tasks has confirmed the importance of using special software tools for mastering the theory of algebraic curves.
