On the teaching of mathematics at the natural sciences and humanities faculties of Moscow State University

G. G. Malinetskiy


Abstract: I examine the traditions of teaching mathematics at the natural sciences and humanities departments of Moscow State University. I discuss what has been pre-served and what has been lost and why during the educational reforms of recent decades. I show the inextricable connection between the content and methods of teaching with large scientific and technical projects carried out in the country. I propose measures to change the situation for the better.
