Abstract

The application of mathematics in economics has already become an indisputable fact. However, the abuse of mathematics in economics is also a controversial question. In this paper, we analyze the difference and connection between mathematics and economics, and point out that the economics research should also be based on the economic reality and economic theory. Mathematics is only a kind of tool or means which can describe the theory. And we can't use other things to substitute for it. And based on it, we discuss how to deal with the mathematics content involved in different teaching contents in economics teaching.
