Abstract

Se trata de responder a la pregunta : ¿qué función ejercen las matemáticas en ciencias económicas? se hace, entonces, un recorrido por las etapas del conocimiento humano : la mítica, la intuitiva, la experimental y la racional y, luego se describe el proceso de elaboración de un modelo económico abstracto en el que las matemáticas juegan un papel fundamental sopena de que el economista quiera construir una ciencia de juguete. Para apoyar la idea de las matemáticas son importantes y necesarias en la economía, se presenta un resumen de una encuesta dirigida por Paul Samuelson a economistas notables, publicada en 1954. Los resultados apuntan precisammente a señalar que las matemáticas tienen una función fundamental en las ciencias económicas.
