CORICA, Ana Rosa  y  OTERO, María Rita. Analysis of a college mathematics praxeology with respect to the limit of functions and students' productions at the moment of assessment. Relime [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.3, pp.305-331. ISSN 2007-6819.

This article presents the partial results of an investigation which aim is to describe and understand mathematical organizations concerning the limit of functions that are studied in a university institution and the students' production at the time of an evaluation. The work is upheld by the Anthropological Theory of Didactics. This study was carried out in a calculus course attended by 283 students and which corresponded to the first year of the basic cycle common to all Basic and Applied Sciences degree courses in an Exact Sciences faculty. The partial conclusions would indicate that in this university precise and rigid mathematical organizations are studied that only lead to the revision of algebraic algorithms.

Palabras llave : Calculus; mathematical organizations; Anthropological Theory of Didactics; university level.
