The paper discusses the main aspects of teaching theory of probability and mathematical statistics for students majoring in jurisprudence. The authors formulate the aims and objectives of the introduction of the stochastic component of the mathematics course, determine how to achieve these goals through the implementation of an applied orientation of teaching mathematics and the inclusion of students in active cognitive activity during the performance of laboratory and practical work, solving problems and applied exercises.

The paper analyzes the textbooks used at Mathematics lessons at technical universities to reveal problems and exercises of applied nature. The analyses is implemented on the example of the section "Definite integral and its applications". The authors singles out the main types of tasks that, according to the authors, should be included in textbooks and problem books on mathematics, aimed at students of technical specialties.
