Summary: | Proofs in analytical mathematics are essential parts of mathematics, difficult to
learn because its underlying concepts are not visible. This research consists of problems
involving logic and proofs. In this study, a short overview was provided on how proofs in
analytical mathematics were used by university students. From the results obtained, excellent
students obtained better scores compared to average and poor students. The research
instruments used in this study consisted of two parts: test and interview. In this way, analysis OF students actual performance can be obtained. The result of this study showed that less
able students have fragile conceptual and cognitive linkages but the more able students use
their strong conceptual linkages to produce effective solutions
