  The article highlights the problem of the use of c omputer mathematics (SCM)
in today's high-tech environment, in particular, it describes the promising
ways of introducing the cloud- oriented components based on SCM, which is a
signif icant factor in increasing access to them as a means of educational and
research activities in the field of mathematics and computer science
disciplines. The role of SCM in training of bachelo rs of computer science and
especially their use in operations research learning is revealed. The ma in
characteristics of SCM MAXIMA and ways of access to it both locally and in the
cloud-orien ted implementation are considered. The results of the expert
evaluation of the cloud-based learning c omponent with the use of MAXIMA system
for operations research learning are presented.
