Analysis Of Difficulty Learning Calculus Subject For Mathematical Education Students

The low result of student learning for calculus subjects are the background of this study. This study aims to analyze student learning difficulties with calculus subjects. This study uses a descriptive method with the qualitative approach. The technique of data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman models with the type of data presentation. The subject of this study is IAIN Bukittinggi students of the 2018 Mathematics Education Study Program which consists of 1 class which amounts to 37 people. The results of the study stated: 1) student difficulties in general, namely drawing the function graphs and doing trigonometric manipulations, 2) student difficulties specifically obtained for material functions (determining domain and range), limit material (mastering rules in determining the values of limit function), derivative material (determining the maximum and minimum values in the story matter), and integral material (errors using integral rules that are often used derivative rules, differentiating using substitution and partial integral techniques and also error in the final completion of the volume of rotary objects).
