The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of computer assisted instruction (CAI) on the academic success of students in the teaching of “Limit concept and applications in univariate functions”. Experimental design with pre-test and post-test control group was used. The study was conducted with 40 students who took the 3rd semester of Analysis I course in Anadolu University Faculty of Education Department of Mathematics Teaching Program. The students were divided into two groups and experimental and control groups were established. A quantitative research approach has been adopted. The “Limit Concept Multiple Choice Success Test” was used to examine the success of the students on “Limit concept and applications in univariate functions”. The obtained data were analyzed by SPSS statistical program. The CAI method has increased the academic success of students in the teaching of limit concepts and its applications.
