Abstract

Although mathematical modeling is widely used in natural and social sciences, it is still not paid enough attention, especially in finance and economics colleges and universities. According to the teaching practice of mathematical modeling courses in these universities, this paper analyzes the existing problems from three aspects: universities, teachers, and students. For each problem, we put forward feasible solutions suitable for finance and economics colleges and universities. Finally, we call on administrators or teachers of relevant universities to pay attention to the construction of mathematical modeling courses. We believe that the implementation of mathematical modeling curriculum reform will play a positive role in talent cultivation.
