Students’ concept development of limits

Juter, Kristina LU orcid (2008) Fifth Congress of the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, CERME 5 p.2320-2329
Abstract
Students’ learning developments of limits were studied in a calculus course. Their
actions, such as problem solving and reasoning, were considered traces of their
mental representations of concepts and were used to describe the developments
during a semester. Several students went through the course with a vague conception of limits which in some cases was wrong. A higher awareness about their mental representations’ reliability is required.
