Abstract

This article explores the essential role of mathematics in the effective teaching and learning of informatics. It highlights how mathematical thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills form the foundation of many informatics concepts such as algorithms, programming, data structures, and computational theory. The integration of mathematical methods enhances students’ ability to understand abstract concepts and develop structured approaches to coding and system analysis. Furthermore, the paper discusses the pedagogical value of using mathematics as a tool to foster analytical thinking and digital literacy in students studying informatics. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary connections and the importance of a solid mathematical background for future professionals in the field of computer science and IT.
