Abstract

The research is aimed to analyze students’ difficulties in studying calculus on inequality and limitfunction in Calculus subject. The research is qualitatively analyzed using descriptive data taken inacademic year of 2018/2019 at the University of Putra Indonesia YPTK, Padang. The subject of the research is53 students majoring in Computer System. The samples are 6 students grouped into 2 high-grade students, 2middle-grade students and 2 low-grade students.
