. Introduction. The paper substantiates the possibility of using information and communication tech- nologies in the study of natural and mathematical disci- plines while training junior technical specialists. The authors consider the effectiveness of the introduction of modern ICT tools, in particular, multimedia technologies in the process of studying mathematical disciplines, which contributes to the diversification of methods of dealing with objects of study, as well as the visualization of edu- cational information. The use of multimedia technologies can significantly increase the learning motivation and cognitive activity, improve the professional level of future junior specialists, and encourage to apply the latest in- formation resources in professional activities. The purpose of the article is to summarize the experi- ence of using information and communication technologies in education and justify their effective influence on the formation of professional digital competencies of future specialists in the field of IT technologies, lay the founda- tions for professional growth and lifelong learning. The methods of analysis, comparison, explication, abstraction are used in the study. Results. The introduction of ICT into the educational process has become the basis for the formation of a fun- damentally new form of lifelong education which is based on detailed self-assessment supported by technological means and motivated for self-educational a ctivity by the results of self-assessment. The introduction of ICT into the educational process in- fluences the teacher's activity: the teacher is increasingly freed from some didactic functions, including controlling ones, leaving creative ones behind; his/her role is chang- ing significantly and the possibilities of managing the cognitive activity of students are expanding; the qualita- tive characteristics of educational activity are changing, more and more didactic functions are imposed on the computer (presentation of educational material, demon- stration and modeling of processes and phenomena); the requirements for the computer training of the teacher are increasing. The educational process, in its essence, is increasingly approaching productive work. This effect is especially enhanced if educational tasks solved with the help of ICT, are related to the practical activities of the future special- ist or are of interest in the current educational work. Originality. Recently, the application of computer tech- nology and information and communication technologies in higher education, in particular, in the study of mathe- matical disciplines, has intensified. This happened due to the improvement of the computer base of universities and the availability of such mathematical packages as GRAN1, Derive, Mathcad, Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, MuPad, etc. on the software market. Conclusions. The opportunities provided by the use of modern ICT to users, including mathematical packages, determine the need for their widespread introduction into the educational process of the college while teaching mathematical disciplines, which will make it possible to activate the students' educational and cognitive activity and raise the level of the mathematical and professional training of future programmers and economists.
