Introduction This study has developed issues related to mathematical education as a background in developing specialists in socioeconomics; scientific approaches, which intensify this process, have been determined. Methods of research. It has been found that educational process necessitates generation of basic concept of mathematical objects and notion to prepare future specialist in socioeconomics; as well as retention of the key methods to solve tasks in professional practice, an insight into the main sources of information related to mathematical methods and the way of applying them to research economics and sociology. Research results. The authoring definition of students' research readiness has been defined as learner-centered systematic education with focus on their high professional performance within the chosen fields, and comprised by five components: motivated, cognitive, practicallyoriented, reflexive and personal-creative Discussions. Pedagogical terms providing effective research environment for art students' education, future socioeconomists, are the outcomes based on quantitative-qualitative characteristics of research gained through the "forming" experiment. Conclusion. It has been determined that students' readiness for education and research in terms of mastering skills in mathematics implies textual tasks performance with relevant mathematical descriptions of socioeconomic models, research issues, exercises with some interrelated questions, creative work with an outcome correlated with the approach used. © 2018.
