CAMARENA GALLARDO, Patricia. From thirty years of the Mathematics in the Context of Sciences educational theory. Innov. educ. (Méx. DF) [online]. 2013, vol.13, n.62, pp.17-44. ISSN 1665-2673.

In order to express what has happened in the thirty years since the creation of the theory of Mathematics in the Science Context (MSC), the present paper surveys how the construction of this theory began, what it is, what impact it has had on the educational and social sector, which areas of knowledge it addresses, which professions it influences, and in which educational levels it is found. We mention that the theory of Mathematics in the Science Context appeared in higher education and was taken to the preceding educational levels; it was generated in the engineering fields and has extended to other professions in biological and economic-administrative areas, among others. Additionally the theory in question is extrapolated from other sciences, establishing the theory of Science in Context.

Keywords : Mathematics in the Context of Sciences; didactic; cognitive; epistemological; curricular; professorate.
