From experience of tutoring of natural-scientific and engineering disciplines it is known that mathematical models used in educational tasks are rather large and complex and manual mathematical processing requires big amount of time dedicated for student’s classwork and homework. This article provides results of work upon modernization of resources and methods of conducting the educational computing experiment. Improvements of methods of conducting electrical engineering experiments are shown as example. This article points at core possibilities of using free-software numerical computation package Scilab in the educational computing experiment. Advantages of this package allowing to use it widely in the educational process are also shown. The comparative analysis of Scilab and Mathematica is provided. Some features of using Scilab during the educational computing experiment are demonstrated in the calculation of non-linear magnetic circuits.
