In everyday life, mathematics plays an important role, both as a tool, language, mindset, and knowledge, such as numeration systems, currency exchange tools, and so on. Therefore, we should know the role or position of mathematics in human civilization. The selected research is qualitative with a case study method. Two students were selected to be research subjects from five classes in the mathematics education study program. The instrument used in this study was an open interview. Each student is asked questions about their knowledge of the position of mathematics in human civilization. The data analysis used in this research is thematic analysis. The results showed that there were four categories of how mathematics education students responded to the position of mathematics in civilization.
