For their realization they have been used as fundamental methods: historical-logical, modeling, documental analysis, interviews to students and the resources of the descriptive statistic as the distributions of frequency and especially the coefficient of lineal correlation of Pearson for the analysis of the results obtained in the mensuration of the variables. The indicators that allow to evaluate Mathematics' professor's attitudes, have settled down as well as of the students toward this subject. When of the applied surveys and the academic results of the students of second year of the and Finances in the Superior Mathematical subject II, you can infer that the attitudes toward the mathematics and the academic yield are correlated.
