This paper is a qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The aim of this paper is to identify the understanding on limit of functions concept based on students' learning styles in Mathematics Department at FMIPA UNM. The subjects of the study were 6 students in Mathematics Department at FMIPA UNM consisted of 1 student at each category with a visual, auditory, kinesthetic, visual-auditory, auditory-kinesthetic, and visual-kinesthetic learning styles. The data collections were conducted through the data analysis of written test results on mathematical concept understanding and interviews. The indicators of understanding on limit of functions concept in this study among others are understanding the concept of epsilon-delta, understanding the absolute value concept as distance, understanding the implication statement concept, understanding to interpreting the limit of functions definition using graph, and understanding to proving the limit of functions in accordance with the formal definition. The results showed that subjects who were dominant in the two categories of learning styles were generally able to understand the limit of functions concept relationally, while subjects who were dominant in one learning style category were generally able to understand the limit of functions concept instrumentally. © 2021 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
