This study is errors and causes students can encounter when they solve on limits. Advanced research on limits found student's level of understanding of concept of limits and their misconception. However student have difficulty with not only limits problem related to other mathematical concepts, but also concepts of limits of functions. Hereat I investigate difficult limits-related questions that most students find and attempt to analyze errors in problem solving and identify causes. I just rule out what the causes of errors are discovered in advanced research. As a result, I classified into comprehension deficit of continuous functions, lack of neighborhood concepts , thought of you cannot move , comprehension deficit of composite functions, errors in limits of functions, errors in inequality of limits of functions, focus on ' defined' notion. Students tend to have trouble with not only thought combining other mathematical concepts, but also misconception about intuitive definition of limits of functions. Accordingly I anticipate that student's concept image of limits of functions will become clearer through this study. I hope that student's errors in limits of functions can be reduced as teacher instruct them based on such as this errors.
