English abstract

Applied mathematics is part of undergraduate and postgraduate university education. From this perspective, this essay aims to study the psychological effects, economic and, educational effects upon the population caused by a crisis scenario as COVID-19. The mathematical theories developed in this essay are Chaos Theory, Markov Chains, and Nash Theory. COVID-19 has spread throughout the world, affecting populations, and countries, without distinction of race, economic, political, or socio-cultural position. The impact that COVID-19 has caused on the world population could be measured, in the medium and long term, through changes in psychological behavior, social, health, economic and educational habits. This impact will leave deep traces and moral dilemmas that will permit prioritize which areas address and the political effort directed to each one. Keywords: covid-19, applied mathematics, educational scenarios, economy

Las matemáticas aplicadas forman parte de la formación universitaria en pregrado y posgrado. Desde esta perspectiva este ensayo tiene como objetivo estudiar los efectos psicológicos, económicos y educativos ocasionados sobre la población por un escenario de crisis como el COVID-19. Las teorías matemáticas desarrolladas en este ensayo son: Teoría del Caos, Cadenas de Markov y Teoría de Nash. El COVID-19 se ha extendido a través del mundo, afectando poblaciones y países, sin distinción de raza, posición económica, política o sociocultural. El impacto que el COVID-19 ha causado en la población mundial se podrá medir, a mediano y largo plazo, a través de cambios en el comportamiento psicológico, hábitos sociales, de salud, económicos y educativos. Este impacto dejará profundas huellas y dilemas morales como priorizar qué áreas deben atenderse y cuál será el esfuerzo político dirigido a cada una de ellas. Descriptores: covid-19, matemáticas aplicadas, escenario educativo, economía
