Teaching Mathematics I in programming environments: a proposal for the development of specific math skills in the first year of the initial formation of the career of Informatics, University of Pinar del Rio

Abstract

Given the necessity of an integration among the basic mathematical abilities, and the abilities specifies to develop in the professional futures in the informatics career in the University of Pinar del Río, One developed a teaching of differential calculus and the integral of real functions of a single variable, supported by programming in the field of mathematics. the theoretical aim of this investigation is based on the enforced historic culture of Lev. S. Vigostky; fundamentally the work with the zone of the next development. The methology applied, consisted of the construction of concepts and the basic mathematical models passing through the graphical, numerical and analytical stages; the fundamentals in the achievement of the basic mathematical ability for the apprenticeship.
