The features of higher mathematics training of biologists and biochemists are considered in this paper. The methods of research include both theoretical: study, analysis and systematization of pedagogical and psychological literature on the organization of research students’ activity, comparison and synthesis of scientific publications on the problem of higher mathematics teaching for biologists, and empirical: observation of training activities of the first-year students at the biological faculty in Donetsk National University, questioning these students. The author’s experience of organization of students’ research activity during learning the discipline «Foundations of Mathematics» at biological faculty is presented. The necessity of implementing of professionally oriented tasks in higher mathematics training of biologists and biochemists is underlined. Some examples of these tasks are given in the paper. The possibilities of applying of modern informational technologies at different stages of the mathematical training of biologists and biochemists are analyzed. Some fragments of the slide-lecture «Algebra of matrix» designed in Smartboard Notebook for interactive whiteboard are presented by the author. The content of the slide-lecture includes some biological facts to demonstrate the interaction between the mathematics and biology. The scenario of designed didactic mathematical game «Scientific conference of biologists» for pre-service biologists to acquire their research skills is shown. This game includes various professionally oriented tasks of mathematics for biologists and biochemists. After gaming the students are offered the following questions for discussion: Do you like the game? What is it purpose? Is this game difficult? What knowledge have you acquired during the game? The applying of didactical mathematical games in the classroom is a significant reserve of strengthening study motivation of higher mathematics and improving the interaction and understanding between a teacher and the students. The effective organization of students’ research activity during learning mathematics at biology faculty helps to develop the professional competences of biologists and biochemists through the acquiring of research skills, analyzing of new information and producing the ideas in unusual situations.
