Abstract
This paper corresponds to the English translation of a shorthened version of the Inaugural Lecture of the academical year 1996–1997 in the University of Oviedo, and published as Pedro Gil Álvarez (1996) Las matemáticas de lo incierto. Rev Astur Econ 7:203–219. It explains to a certain extent Pedro Gil’s view on the mathematical tools and approaches to model, handle and deal with uncertainty.
