In order to increase the active use of application software packages for teaching students of technical and physical and mathematical specialties in higher education institutions, it is necessary to pay special attention to the use of software tools in solving various problems. In this regard, the paper discusses the teaching methods of integrating in MathCAD environment. Distinctive schemes and stages of finding indefinite and definite integrals are given. The problem of "non-convergent" integrals behavior in this computation environment is scrutinized here too. The author gives methodical recommendations on the software use in the educational process and shows the prospects of its application. All the actions performed during integration in MathCAD are analyzed on specific examples. Using application software package in teaching, will increase the learning process efficiency and help to develop necessary professional competencies for students. The contents of the article will be useful for teachers and students in preparing for practical classes.
