Model for developing practical skills and abilities in working with LaTeX in future bachelors of mathematics

Abstract

The article outlines the content, objectives, tasks, and organizational features of the educational computer internship within the framework of the educational and professional program "Computer Mathematics" at Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University. Particular attention is paid to the development of practical skills in working with the \LaTeX{} typesetting system among higher education applicants, which is essential for the high-quality preparation of term papers, theses, research articles, and presentations. The internship involves an individual project consisting of theoretical and practical components. In the theoretical part, students study the interfaces of \LaTeX{} editors, the syntax of basic commands, and the features of formatting texts, tables, formulas, graphics, and creating presentations. The practical part includes preparing the text of a term paper and a corresponding presentation for its defense. The educational computer internship is organically integrated into the educational process and synchronized with the completion of a term paper in functional analysis, enabling an effective combination of students’ theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The competencies acquired as a result of the internship contribute to the enhancement of the academic culture of future professionals and their integration into the scientific community.
