One of the actual areas in education is the development of the relationship between fundamental disciplines, especially mathematics and physics. Currently, many methodological techniques, forecasting methods and their implementation have been proposed. There are often approaches such as physics for mathematicians, mathematics for physicists.

The purpose of the work is to consider a method that allows all students, both mathematicians and physicists, to attend lectures at the same time.

For 250 hours, teachers of the departments of Higher Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, General Physics, and Applied Physics attended the webinar "Teaching Mathematics and Physics in Higher Technical educational institutions" as part of their retraining

. Classes were conducted online using the Big Blue Button platform

These were not instructions, examples (tasks), master classes, or training. The classes consisted of demonstrations to each other of the mathematics and physics courses that are taught to students of our university.

It is important that all the course participants saw and heard their colleagues teaching classes in different areas of student learning exactly as they lecture in classrooms.

At each meeting, the teachers took turns giving a lecture on a particular topic (3 months of mathematics, 3 months of physics).

Thus, we (the physicists) got acquainted with the presentation of the mathematics course by colleagues with whom we teach classes in groups with them. As for physics, it was also important for us to hear from our fellow physicists.

After listening to both courses, each teacher was able to fully grasp their obsession in a relatively short time and, most importantly, draw useful conclusions in order to use them in their practical work.

In conclusion, it should be noted that the webinar in such an unusual format for us was used for the interaction of the departments of mathematics and physics, to strengthen the corporate culture.

The webinar participants drew attention to the emerging elements of synergy. In this way, we managed to jointly solve a number of important problems related to attendance and academic performance. It was possible to strengthen the feedback between the teachers of the departments and the students already during the course of the webinar. In addition, the authors have compiled a number of tasks with an emphasis on the meaning of mathematical concepts and actions, and colleagues of mathematicians and physicists have given their own versions of questions and tasks.
