Abstract: The article discusses how students formalize the process involved in determining and understanding the concept of limit in advanced mathematics. Topics covered include the two types of the notions of the limit namely the formal limit notion and dynamic limit notion. Also mentioned is the challenge faced by students in understanding and applying the formal limit notion.
