To the question of the effectiveness of the work of the mathematical circle in a higher educational institution

The proposed article discusses the issue of attracting students of higher educational institutions from the very first courses of study to a deeper study of subjects and disciplines necessary for further education in the development of a future profession. In this regard, it is proposed to expand the work of student scientific circles using the example of the scientific mathematical circle established at the Department of Higher Mathematics at the Volga State University of Railway Transport. It is not only about the work in this period, but mainly focuses on the expansion and deepening of this area. Since mathematics is a subject studied in all specialties, it would be good to immediately focus students on the sections of mathematics that are necessary to solve practical problems in this particular specialty. Therefore, preference is given to expanding the activities of the circles. We need two clubs in the field of economics and technical specialties at once. It is also proposed to create a circle for senior students.
