The limit computation tree, which can also be implemented on MML, can helpstudents truly comprehend the process <strong>of</strong> computing limits by using limit properties.To further evaluate MML, and as future research work, we may focus on the performance <strong>of</strong>students in subsequent courses (mathematics, business, engineering, science, etc.) in whichMML mathematics courses are necessary prerequisites. In that the success <strong>of</strong> students in MMLcourses is decided by their earning a grade <strong>of</strong> A, B, or C, there is no evidence that students willbe successful in subsequent courses relying on the application <strong>of</strong> the previously learnedmathematics.ReferencesAnderson, B.
