The article considers the theme-building feature of the electronic educational video resource as such that enables to provide a study of a certain topic or subject in an automated mode (with minimal mentoring, by means of distance learning) in the case of "Basics of Computer Mathematics" university course within the framework of "The Higher Mathematics" discipline. It is described how the video resource "Basics of Computer Mathematics within Microsoft Mathematics", created and approved by the authors, that possesses such a feature makes it possible to implement a corresponding topic in the discipline curriculum and to realize it. The possibilities, peculiarities and shortcomings of the Microsoft Mathematics 4.0 program, as well as the methodology of using the appropriate electronic educational video resource in the educational process are considered. It is emphasized that the proposed approaches to the training organization can be transferred to the cases of the use of different computer mathematics programs. The authors state that the learning objectives can be achieved within the hours allocated to independent work, since in the curriculum of the "Higher Mathematics" discipline class hours for studying this topic are often not foreseen. Approbation of video resources has shown that video tutorials enable, firstly, to introduce novelty in the classical learning process and automate it, and secondly, to reallocate study time in favour of students' out-of-class independent work and thus free up lecture time for a more complete presentation of the fundamentals of academic disciplines thirdly, to motivate students to master new forms and methods of teaching. Students can view short video tutorials multiple times from different devices, including mobile devices, at home, in transport, or during classroom sessions. The tools tested by the authors for video capturing from the screen of the monitor, which can be useful for developers of the electronic video resources for educational purposes in different disciplines, are briefly described.
