What does Google know about us?”, in which he spoke about the possibility of identifying digital traces left by users on the global network and collecting analytical, personal data, carried out by a world-renowned company.
The greatest interest in the present scientists, experts, lecturers and students was aroused by the speech of an employee of “NORES GMBH” (Munich, Germany), who demonstrated the capabilities of a robotic arm for sorting and positioning parts to ensure the operation of the conveyor for the production of Volkswagen cars.
Assistant Professor of Higher and Applied Mathematics at Poltava Polytechnic Valeriia Steblianko made a report “Using software math packages to automate calculations of technical systems”, which considered the prospects of information technology, software shells and packages that higher math lecturers can use in their daily work to simplify calculations of difficult tasks. In particular, the author singled out the freely distributable dynamic environment GeoGebra, which has ample opportunities to work with functions through built-in language commands. One of the first in Ukraine, a pedagogical software package to support the teaching of mathematics GRAN, which provides support for the study of mathematics and certain sections of physics at school, was not left out either.
“In order to popularize mathematics among youth and understanding the need of mathematics lecturers to introduce innovations, I decided to explore in more detail the possibilities of individual software mathematics packages. In particular, DG (Digital geometry) is a package of dynamic geometry, which provides support for the constructive direction in learning and the principle of clarity, providing an environment for experimentation. One of the advantages of this program is the instantaneous change of all dependent constructions when changing some output parameters.
Microsoft Mathematics tools allow one to work in a graphing calculator, use a library of formulas and equations, as well as a value converter, i.e. a module for converting measurements from one system of units to another. Mathcad and MatLab software shells are a package of numerical analysis apps, as well as a programming language that is a convenient tool for working with mathematical matrices, drawing functions, working with algorithms, creating work shells with programs in other programming languages. Consider the “Graphics” program, designed to support the school’s planimetry course, which provides the ability to organize computer experiments and researches, model geometric constructions, and create dynamic illustrations, tutorials, reference books, comments, hints, and hyperlinks. These applications will definitely be useful for colleagues and students who are actively interested in mathematics,” – commented the scientist.
Denys Zakharov, a student of the 601-TK group of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”, shared interesting life hacks for the development of robotic machine vision systems for industrial use (“Development of robotic machine vision systems for industrial use”, supervisor – Candidate of Technical Sciences Klavdiia Solovchuk).
Olesia Shurpyk, a student of the 202-NG Group of the Educational and Research Institute of Oil and Gas of the National University “Yuri Kondratyuk Poltava Polytechnic”, presented a study titled “Application of Information Technologies in Teaching Higher Mathematics to Students of Technical Specialties”, carried out under the guidance of Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Higher and Applied Mathematics Nataliia Ichanska. In her report, the speaker focused on the development of information and communication technologies that promote mobility, adaptability; encourage continuous self-development and self-learning of an engineer, as well as presented the opportunities that arise when using computer training systems.
