Abstract :
It is widely known that graduates of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics from the Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU) are very qualified and highly skilled in the craft of mathematics. Is it possible to transfer the exercise-methods from the MSU, which we call the Demidovich-principle like the author from a famous mathematical task-collection book, to a fundamental college programming course to achieve an improvement in the quality of education? This article characterizes how this is possible and how to solve the arising problems with respect to didactical and pedagogical aspects. Evaluation results of the new designed exercise will also be given.
