Abstract

The training of the engineers has among its professional aims the preparation for the resolution of problems related to their profession. Basic sciences play an important role in this preparation, especially, Physics and Mathematics. The former makes
important contributions precisely to the design and development of new technologies that have an impact on today's society. In the case of the latter, it provides tools and a way of thinking necessary to face problems in a world in which science and
technology are developing at an accelerated pace. This article is aimed at presenting the features of mathematical thinking, especially for the resolution of physical problems, a basic skill in the training of engineers which shows deficiencies in the
teaching-learning process. As a result, the mathematical thinking in the solution of physical problems although corresponds to mathematics is more applied to Physics.
