Abstract: The main purpose of mathematics education in special education is to enable each student to learn and apply mathematical concepts by taking into account their individual needs. The aim of the study is to determine the place of publications including "special education and mathematics", "special education and mathematics education" in the literature and to present a panoramic perspective by revealing the dynamics of the field. In the study, bibliometric analysis was used, which offers an approach to accurately measure and analyse the publications examined in the database. Within the scope of the study, mathematics and mathematics education publications in special education provided important diagnostic data by presenting trends in past, present and future perspectives in the field. In this context, 487 articles were systematically analysed. It is a remarkable result of the study that most of the publications including "special education and mathematics", "special education and mathematics education" are found in special education journals. Another result is that the participants of the majority of the studies are students and children. In general, author collaborations between different groups are very few. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
