%X This paper presents
reflections on proposals to merge Mathematics and Geography when teaching
undergraduates from inter</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and
trans-disciplinary spatial models using mathematical modeling to enable spatial
analysis and visualization through GIS</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">¡ª</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Geographic Information Systems. It brings forward an
approach to Geography with new technologies integrating it with Statistics and
Computer Science among other subjects. Thus, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">it </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">describes some practical cases that are examples of
geographical problems solved mathematically. The results show that GIS can be
an educational tool for teaching both Geography and Mathematics.
