Abstract

The core objective of advanced mathematics courses in higher vocational education is to cultivate students' mathematical application abilities and logical thinking skills, supporting professional course learning and vocational skill development. However, in traditional teaching, abstract functions, operations, and concepts often become difficult points for students. With its powerful numerical computation and visual graphing capabilities, MATLAB software can transform abstract mathematical knowledge into intuitive graphics and images, effectively reducing learning difficulties. Centering on MATLAB's graphing function, this paper combines the characteristics and requirements of advanced mathematics teaching in higher vocational education to analyze its application methods in key teaching links, including function graph plotting, spatial surface visualization, and calculus concept visualization. Furthermore, it explores the practical value of MATLAB in enhancing classroom teaching effectiveness and cultivating students' mathematical application abilities. In addition, it proposes teaching implementation suggestions that are suitable for the learning situation of higher vocational education, providing a reference for mathematics teaching in higher vocational education.
