SUAREZ-BURGOA, Ludger O.. Mathematization of geology. Bol. cienc. tierra [online]. 2017, n.41, pp.30-38. ISSN 0120-3630.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rbct.n41.55386.

This article has the objective to consider about the importance of the mathematization of the geology in the Colombian universities. Even though the analysis and the data were taken for the particular case of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Medellin, because of the similitude that the careers of Geology and Engineering Geology have in common, it can be considered possible to extrapolate and generalize the conclusions valid for any university in the territory of Colombia. This article analyses the actual standing, its limitations, and show different obstacles limited the development of this as a strong branch of geology; and projects a better situation for the immediate future. The article begins with an historic review that will help to understand how this branch has been coexisted just from the beginning of the formalization of geology as a science in Europe and North America.

Palavras-chave : Geology; mathematics; Colombian universities.
