THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICSIN THE FORMATION OF THE FUTURE SPECIALIST
The article presents the results of calculating coefficients of rank correlations between students' educational rating in mathematics and their general curricular rating. First year students majoring in economics, agrongineering, architecture and civil engineering have been chosen as respondents. The obtained coefficient values testify to a high meaningful correlation of these indicators and make it possible to come to the conclusion, that mathematics is particularly important in developing a specialist; success in mathematics provides for students' success on the whole.
