Higher Mathematics is one of core subjects in engineering sciences and at the same time it is one of the stumbling blocks in the first year of studies for many students. The main problem is insufficient level of student knowledge in Elementary Mathematics. In order to overcome this problem the Department of Engineering Mathematics have prepared short video lectures which are available online for free and compensative courses before first semester. The paper covers educational data analysis and our teaching experience.
