Abstract: This article is dedicated to the results of the regular stage of monitoring (2016-2017) of the newest changes in the strategy of managing science, innovations, and higher education in the United Kingdom due to the referendum consequences on the country’s exit from the European Union. Special attention is given to the examination of strategic documents and decisions of the British government, including the new law on higher education and science (April of 2017). The authors analyze the content and meaning of the current conceptual and organizational changes, as well as predict the possible consequences. A conclusion is made that intensification of the course towards centralization of management system, restriction of academic freedoms, and methods of dirigisme in the development of science, innovations, and higher education are associated with the escalation of crisis phenomena in the country and unaccounted “Brexit” effects. It is noted that at the present moment, the growing financial responsibilities of the British government before the academic community is a way of defusing the political tension, rather than the circumspect development strategy. Further monitoring of the British experience will allow assessing the efficiency of the new course from the perspective of its productivity and correspondence of the selected methods with the set goals and tasks.

Abstract: The subject of the research is to study the process of teaching the basic discipline “Numerical Methods” to the students of mathematics. The paper provides the main approaches to teaching of numerical methods. The hypothesis is made that motivation to learning the discipline, necessary time for examination and understanding of material of the course depends on the level of development of numerical cognition. The authors clarify the notion of "numerical cognition" as a cognitive process, determine the abilities needed to develop the numerical cognition of students, as well as propose tools for organizing the learning process. Methods of system dynamics and dynamic visualization are used for organizing the educational activity. As the key means, the authors also review the mental maps and animation, which from the perspective of information approach represent most efficient tool for visualization of information. The main conclusion of the conducted research lies in the fact that the suggested methods and means significantly affect the development of identified components of numerical cognition of students, and therefore, the successful studying of the course “Numerical Methods”. This has been confirmed by the pedagogical experiment carried out in the Siberian Federal University.
