A Review of the Engineering Maths First Aid Kit and the Algebra RefresherNew support mechanisms have been introduced for Engineering students in their first year at Lancaster University to help maintain standards in all subject areas that are underpinned by Mathematics. Resources that have already been developed by Loughborough University are being used in a slightly modified form to help students to work through and overcome any weakness in Mathematics. Help sheets from Engineering Maths First Aid Kit are used to reinforce student learning. All material is used with the help of tutors to form a good foundation for further studies.
Algebra RefresherA refresher booklet on Algebra with revision, exercises and solutions on fractions, indices, removing brackets, factorisation, algebraic frations, surds, transpostion of formulae, solving quadratic equations and some polynomial equations, and partial fractions. An interactive version and a welsh language version are available.
Algebra Refresher - Interactive versionAn interactive version of the refresher booklet on Algebra including links to other resources for further explanation. It includes revision, exercises and solutions on fractions, indices, removing brackets, factorisation, algebraic frations, surds, transpostion of formulae, solving quadratic equations and some polynomial equations, and partial fractions. An interactive version and a welsh language version are available.

University of East Anglia (UEA) Interactive Mathematics and Statistics Resources The Learning Enhancement Team at the University of East Anglia (UEA) has developed la series of interactive resources accessible via Prezi mind maps : Steps into Numeracy, Steps into Algebra, Steps into Trigonometry, Bridging between Algebra and Calculus, Steps into Calculus, Steps into Differential Equations, Steps into Statistics and Other Essential Skills.
Mathematics Support Materials from the University of Plymouth
Support material from the University of Plymouth:
The output from this project is a library of portable, interactive, web based support packages to help students learn various mathematical ideas and techniques and to support classroom teaching.
There are support materials on ALGEBRA, GRAPHS, CALCULUS, and much more.
This material is offered through the mathcentre site courtesy of Dr Martin Lavelle and Dr Robin Horan from the University of Plymouth.

What is a logarithm ?Logarithms can be used to write expressions involving powers in alternative forms. This leaflet explains how.
Logarithms - changing the baseSometimes it is necessary to find logs to bases other then 10 and e.
There is a formula which enables us to do this. This leaflet states
and illustrates the use of this formula.
The laws of logarithmsThere are rules, or laws, which are used to rewrite expressions involving logs in different forms. This leaflet states and illustrates these rules.
Factorising quadraticsThe ability to factorise a quadratic expression is an essential skill.
This booklet explains how this process is carried out.
Removing brackets 2In this leaflet, we show you the correct procedure for writing expressions of the form (a+b)(c+d) in an alternative form, without brackets.
LogarithmsWe use logarithms to write expressions involving powers in a different form. If you can work confidently with powers, you should have no problems handling logarithms
Removing brackets 2This leaflet explains how to multiply together two bracketed linear expressions. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 2.4)
Removing brackets 1In order to simplify mathematical expressions, it is frequently necessary to 'remove brackets'. This leaflet explains the rules for replacing bracketed terms, with non-bracketed equivalents.
Factorising quadraticsThis leaflet shows how to take a quadratic expression and factorise it.
Special cases of complete squares and difference of two squares are dealt with on other leaflets.
Indicial equationsAn indicial equation is one in which the power is unknown. Such equations often occur in the calculation of compound interest.
Expanding Brackets - Numbas9 questions: Expanding out expressions such $(ax+b)(cx+d)$ etc.
Numbas resources have been made available under a Creative Commons licence by the School of Mathematics & Statistics at Newcastle University.
LogarithmsThis booklet explains what is meant by a logarithm. It states and illustrates the laws of llogarithms. It explains the standard bases 10 and e.
Finally it shows how logarithms can be used to solve certain types of equations.
