Abstract

Learning problems in Mathematics at the undergraduate level are reflected in low school performance or in the worst case in the truncation of a career, by not accrediting subjects related to Mathematics. A high percentage of students do not meet the minimum requirements in Mathematics and as they increase in complexity, a high rate of failing and backlog causes frustration and anguish in students. The above research has the basis for the analysis and design of an intelligent tutorial system in Mathematics and research development held in the Academic Professional Unit Nezahualcóyotl (UAP-Nezahualcóyotl), which is part of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico. Such research has the aim of identifying the main problems in the learning of Mathematics in undergraduate students. The project aims to reduce such difficulties.
