Abstract
The article studies the problem of the interaction of mathematical methods and problems with market content in the works of scientists of medieval Central Asia.The purpose of the article was to find out where the economic and mathematical methods of applied mathematics begin in Central Asia and what the periods of their development are.Historical and narrative methods were used to study the problem.Scientists of medieval Central Asia used to solve market problems: the "triple rule" method, the "rule of five quantities" method, linear equation, geometric progression, a system of two linear equations with two unknowns, etc.These methods, together with the methods of operations research, belong to economic and mathematical methods.
