總結:The research objective was to assess the relation between academic performance in mathematics and school success in higher education students. The research adopted a quantitative, descriptive-comparative and microsociological approach. Data came from primary sources. Data collection was transectional and the sample consisted of 1500 students. The Wagnild and Young’s resilience scale was used. The results show that there is a strong relation among the exigency level, the application of mathematics, abstraction, and academic performance. Students develop emotional resilience skills that allow them to improve their quality of life. In conclusion, resilience is significantly related to all personality strengths, as well as to positive change acceptance and personal competence.It was identified that, while resilience helps students become more tolerant and better understand what is happening in their environment, it is precisely in these challenges where the strengths brought by high educational performance are manifested. Successful students display formal thinking skills, creative thinking, application of mathematics, and resilience, all of which influence their quality of life.
