Considering that the learning of mathematics continues to be a nodal problem in Mexico, this work presents a proposal to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in the teaching-learning process of mathematics at the higher level and thus contribute to the improvement of the academic performance of students. The research was developed at the Faculty of Engineering of the Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero (UAGro). Using a quantitative, exploratory approach, the impact of the use of ICTs in solving a non-homogeneous differential equation was measured. For this, both a control group and an experimental group were evaluated, and a questionnaire was carried out before and after the intervention. The importance of the use of technological tools was appreciated in the results obtained here in the experimental group, where 14 of 15 students passed the expected level. Consequently, the use of ICT favored the academic performance of the participating students of the higher level.
