Abstract
This research is framed in the context of the university mathematical training of social science students, in particular, in the field of economics, business, accounting and finance. It arises from the deficiency observed in the training of students, which leads them to trust the accuracy of the results obtained through any specialized and widely recognized mathematical software. Some of them know that the software can make mistakes, but they believe that it will only happen in exercises of a much higher level than the one that affects them, that is, those that have to do with strictly scientific areas. Research confirms that this blind trust is true, and justifies why they should be critical of software use at any level. It also provides one of the many answers to the question that some of them ask themselves: Why spend class time on the methods and certain steps of the algorithms if the computer can solve the exercises?
