ABSTRACT

The Study considers two fundamental types of data—a scalar and a vector (array). It is necessary to have the ability to work with these, otherwise it is impossible to solve school and university problems in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other technical educational disciplines on a computer. Some fundamental principles of teaching computer science at school and university are touched on.

Mathematics: Scalar, vector, matrix, column vector, row vector, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and n-dimensional space, absolute value, length of vector, vector norm, linear function, equation of a line in a plane, linear interpolation, systems of linear algebraic equations, ordinary differential equations, initial conditions.

Physics: Scalar and vector physical quantity, density of saline solution, air resistance.

IT: One-dimensional, two-dimensional and nested array, numerical solution of differential equations with physical quantities, work with planar computer graphics, structured programming.

Once Crawfish, Swan and Pike

Set out to pull a loaded cart,

And all together settled in the traces;

They pulled with all their might, but still the cart refused to budge!

The load it seemed was not too much for them:

Yet Crawfish scrambled backwards,

Swan strained up skywards, Pike pulled toward the sea.

Who’s guilty here and who is right is not for us to say-

But anyway the cart’s still there today.
