            Course content
        
        
            The teaching of this discipline is aimed at practical mastery
students of the basic principles of planning and conducting an environmental experiment, processing experimental data, their analysis and interpretation, means of presenting results and their visualization. The methodology of scientific knowledge of nature, the main forms and means of knowledge are considered separately. Much attention is also paid to the formation of the graduate's ability to bring to a wide range of specialists the results of their own research, forms and means of publishing the results of scientific work. An integral result of mastering this discipline is ability
formulate and prove by mathematical methods clear, concise conclusions from the results of environmental research, understandable to both professionals and non-specialists with the mandatory use of various means of publication.
