Sažetak
This paper reports a part of a larger study investigating the calculus teaching at a Croatian and Danish university. It concerns the students’ retention of key procedural and conceptual concepts of derivative two months after having passed similar Calculus 1 courses, and while being taught a Calculus 2 course. The results showed that for both countries, a large portion was forgotten and the passing grades of the Calculus 1 course did not predict the results in the test two months later. In fact, often students with the lowest passing grades had the better results two month later.
