This paper reviews the experiences of using the virtual reality based method for e-learning of calculus and for design of agricultural machinery, presents some frames from video clips made in the environment of the Computer Package Mathcad and used in delivering lectures. Present paper describes the e-learning process of Mathematics in the Department of Engineering of Estonian University of Life Sciences and points to the possibility of generation of tasks in the Mathcad environment for e-Learners. A reader of this paper will be acquainted with the applications of virtual reality based methods for design of agricultural Machinery.
