Abstract

This research has characterized the teaching process of linear algebra implemented in physics from the perspective of mathematics education in Secondary school education, their educational characteristics and difficulties. The approach is quantitative with a descriptive design. The sample consisted of 97 students from the tenth grade and 4 teachers that teach physics and mathematics at the National Autonomous Institute ¨Ruben Dario¨, of the municipality of Nueva Guinea to whom they applied, test, polls, interview, and observation guide. The statistical system for social sciences (SPSS) was used in the analysis, amount the relevant results, we can mentioned misuse of the properties of linear algebra during procedures applied to definition and   concepts of physics by the students, likewise   the Search for teachers to counteract the weaknesses in the learning of algebra and the unification of the mathematic tools in a significant way in the physics programme studies of the Secondary Education.
