Essential mathematics for biologists, medics and vetsEssential mathematics for biologists, medics and vets is a resource contributed to the mathcentre Community project by Jenny Koenig, Cambridge University. It contains online tutorials, text based resources, quiz questions and tests.
Euclidean GeometryDesigned for self-study, this drawing-led introduction to the geometry of Euclid takes the learner from first principles through to constructions and mathematical proofs as well as covering practical applications of the techniques learnt in art and design. It concludes with a study of the pentagon, golden ratio and their surprising mathematical interconnection. The resources comprise a 100-page booklet and supporting interactive resources. These resources have been created by Rich Cochrane and Andrew McGettigan (Central Saint Martins, UAL) and reviewed by Prof Jeremy Gray (Open University). They were funded by a sigma Resource Development grant and contributed to the mathcentre Community Project.

Evaluating definite integralsThis leaflet explains what is meant by a definite integral and how it can be evaluated. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.9)
evaluation of mathematics support centres - a review of the literature (sigma)This sigma guide reviews published literature concerning the evaluation of mathematics support centres. There is a growing body of research studies, which have
looked into a number of areas such as: the establishment
of a MSC; the usage of MSCs and mechanisms for recording
usage data; feedback from students and staff and ways
to collect this; effects on achievement, pass rates and
retention rates; and the prevalence of MSCs in the higher
education sector. More recently researchers have begun
to examine the effects of MSCs on undergraduatesâ??
mathematics learning experiences and mathematical
confidence, and to address issues concerning students who
are â??at riskâ?? or underachieving and not engaging with the
facilities offered by their MSC.
This report reviews and synthesises all the available
published research evidence so that informed decisions can
be made about the value of mathematics support activity and
the targeting of future funding.
Evaluation of mathematics support centres: a literature review
Janette Matthews, Tony Croft, Duncan Lawson, and Dagmar Waller. (2013) Evaluation of mathematics support centres: a literature review. Teaching Mathematics Applications. first published online September 3, 2013 doi:10.1093/teamat/hrt013
Mathematics Support Centres (MSCs) have been established at universities in the UK and a number of other countries, of which colleagues from Australia and Ireland have been the most prolific in publishing about their work. Their main functions are to address issues surrounding the transition to university mathematics and to support students’ learning of mathematics and statistics across the wide variety of undergraduate courses.
There is a growing body of research examining the operation and impact of MSCs. This article will review and synthesize available published research evidence so that informed decisions can be made about the value of mathematics support activity and the targeting of future funding. Evidence will be shown of the evaluation of MSCs in each of the following areas:
the collection of data and the challenges that are presented in both quantitative and qualitative studies;
analysis demonstrating MSC usage and activity;
analysis showing the impact of MSCs on students, staff and the institution.
The article will conclude by identifying areas where further research would be helpful.
Evaluation of the University of Limerick Mathematics Learning CentreIn a time when mathematical unpreparedness is rife and learning support is most urgently needed, this investigation by Claire Carroll and supervised by Dr. Olivia Gill. (2011)
seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of the mathematics learning centre in the University of Limerick. Qualitative and quantitative data on the impact of the mathematics learning centre on the students' mathematics education and students' attitudes towards mathematics were collected through the use of student questionnaires. Analysis of this data provides significant evidence that the mathematics learning centre is making an invaluable contribution to the mathematical experience of the students who are availing of its services. The results of this study strongly support the belief that mathematics learning centres have the potential to provide students with both the affective and cognitive support that is so critical to many of the students entering third level education presently.

Expanding & Removing BracketsIn this unit we see how to expand an expression containing brackets. By this we mean to rewrite the expression in an equivalent form without any brackets in. Fluency with this sort of algebraic manipulation is an essential skill which is vital for further study.
