The research has been motivated by the concern about knowing if the university level mathematics courses improve the students\u2019 competence of translating verbally stated situations to algebraic language, which is a necessary requisite to apply methods from differential calculus. One relevant finding is the fact that students fail to understand the problem qualitatively; moreover, they fail to transit, not only from verbal to algebraic language, but also from arithmetical to algebraic thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Key words: Competences, difficulties, university students, algebraic language, algebraic thinking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/somidem.com.mx\/pdf\/documentos\/REM\/REM25-1\/Vol25-1-2.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-279\" src=\"http:\/\/somidem.com.mx\/revista\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/download.png\" alt=\"download\" width=\"150\" height=\"53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.revista-educacion-matematica.org.mx\/revista\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/download.png 200w, https:\/\/www.revista-educacion-matematica.org.mx\/revista\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/download-150x53.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abraham Cuesta Borges, Juana Elisa Escalante Vega y Marco Antonio M\u00e9ndez Salazar Resumen: Abstract: This article deals with the analysis of competences and difficulties of university students when solving problems of determination of maxima or minima of real-valued functions with a geometrical context or verbal statement.
