Economics and mathematics: recent views on a controversial relationship

In recent years, the use of mathematics in modern economics has generated criticisms, both from the profession (economists) as well as from other scientists concerned with the epistemological context of social sciences. In our paper we present representative views of these two groups and also the trend towards new approaches in economics, namely the use of game theory, simulation models and the study of social behaviour and evolution.
