This review paper examines the issues identified by research regarding students transitioning from school mathematics to service mathematics modules within economics education at the tertiary level. Literature was gathered in four steps, mainly through hand-searching strategies from journals, books, conference proceedings and reports. The results show that existing research addresses the challenges of students to cope with changed roles of students and teachers, as well as with new approaches to teaching and assessment, in the transition phase between education levels. Special issues identified for service mathematics in economics education are (i) issues of heterogeneous mathematics background in the student group, (ii) of mismatch in expectations about mathematics level and demand and (iii) the issue of relevance of mathematics. This review helps practitioners gain deeper insights into these multifaceted issues of transition. Furthermore, several potential directions for further research in the field are recommended.

了解高等教育中数学从中学到大学转型的挑战：文献综述

这篇综述论文探讨了有关学生从学校数学过渡到高等教育经济学教育中的服务数学模块的研究中发现的问题。文献的收集分为四个步骤，主要是通过从期刊、书籍、会议记录和报告中手动检索策略。结果表明，现有研究解决了学生在教育水平过渡阶段应对学生和教师角色变化以及新的教学和评估方法的挑战。经济学教育中服务数学的特殊问题是（i）学生群体中数学背景不同的问题，（ii）对数学水平和需求的期望不匹配以及（iii）数学的相关性问题。这篇评论有助于从业者更深入地了解这些多方面的转型问题。此外，还建议了该领域进一步研究的几个潜在方向。
