Preparing students for university mathematics through a maths readiness workshopFirst year science students often lack confidence at the start of their course regarding their mathematical skills. A maths
readiness workshop has been designed at Monash University Gippsland campus to give students confidence in their
mathematical ability prior to the beginning of semester. It also helps students to identify very early if they should opt in to the
various maths support programs offered at the campus. The workshop has been designed in conjunction with first year coordinators
to specifically target mathematical content relevant to first year biology and chemistry including rearranging formulae,
logarithms and exponentials, and physical quantities and their units. Students self-select into the workshop based on a short
presentation during O-week activities. Results of student evaluations and reflections of the facilitators will be presented.

Process Systems Engineering - A Course in Computing and Numerical Methods for Second Year Chemical EngineersWe describe a course aimed at providing chemical engineering students with an understanding of the fundamental classes of equations which occur in chemical engineering, the mathematical basis of their numerical solution methods and the basic methods of implementing these in a high level computing language. The course thus integrates elements of both conceptual and practical mathematics and computing.

Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutionsNilsson, Galina and Luchinskaya, D. (2012) Provision of maths support for student in higher education institutions, The 40th Annual Congress of the Nordic Educational Research Association: March 8-10, 2012, Copenhagen, http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hv:diva-4859
This study analyses the efficiency of maths support provision in two universities: Leeds Metropolitan University, UK and Högskolan Väst, Sweden. This is an on-going collaboration between two universities and in this paper we present the results of this study focussing on the academic staff prospective, using questionnaires, observations and interviews with tutors.

RatiosA ratio is a way of comparing two or more similar quantities, by writing two
or more numbers separated by colons. The numbers should be whole numbers, and
should not include units.

Responding to the Mathematics Problem : The Implementation of Institutional Support MechanismsThis volume arose from a conference, 'Addressing the Quantitative Skills Gap: Establishing
and Sustaining Cross-Curricular Mathematical Support in Higher Education', held at the
University of St Andrews in 2007. The aim of that conference, and of this volume of
collected essays, is to explore the logistics and economics of establishing and sustaining
institution-wide mathematics support provision.
We explore a range models for delivering mathematical support accommodating an even
wider range of budgets. Additionally, we identify how universities can call upon their maths
support provision to demonstrate that they are addressing institutional agendas including
quality enhancement, employability and skills, the first year experience, flexible delivery,
retention, and the student learning experience. Looking to the future we note how
mathematics support has broadened from its original focus on the STEM subjects and
discuss how emerging technologies are being exploited for its provision.
Rules of arithmeticEvaluating expressions involving numbers is one of the basic tasks in
arithmetic. But if an expression is complicated then it may not be clear
which part of it should be evaluated first, and so some rules must be
established. There are also rules for calculating with negative numbers.
