With the rapid development of the economy and technology, society has placed higher vocational-oriented requirements on higher education, especially in fields such as engineering and information technology. As a core foundational subject, higher mathematics must keep pace with the times to meet the practical needs for mathematical knowledge across different industries. However, the current teaching content of higher mathematics tends to be overly theoretical and disconnected from practical applications, making it difficult to adequately support students' career development. This study analyzes the requirements for mathematical knowledge in various industries from the perspective of vocational demands and proposes optimization strategies including modular design of teaching content and the integration of mathematics with vocational skills. It also explores innovative multidimensional teaching models and reforms in teaching evaluation systems. The findings provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the optimization of higher mathematics teaching content, contributing to the enhancement of students' professional abilities and employability.
