InterestInterest rate calculations arise in a variety of business applications, and affect all of us in our personal and professional lives. Individuals earn interest on sums they have invested in savings accounts. Many home owners pay interest on money they have borrowed for mortgages, personal loans, etc. This leaflet revises interest and its calculation.
Introduction to Developing Graduate Skills in HE Mathematics ProgrammesThe project Developing Graduate Skills in HE Mathematics Programmes collected a series of short case studies, each focused on specific graduate skills, providing examples of ways in which these have been successfully developed through curricular initiatives. This video is the introduction to a workshop disseminating the case study report by Jeff Waldock.

Introduction to functionsA function is a rule which operates on one number to give another number.
However, not every rule describes a valid function. This unit explains
how to see whether a given rule describes a valid function, and introduces
some of the mathematical terms associated with functions. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Introduction to vectorsA vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude (or size) and a direction.
Both of these properties must be given in order to specify a vector
completely. In this unit we describe how to write down vectors, how to add
and subtract them, and how to use them in geometry.

Inverse functionsAn inverse function is a second function which undoes the work of the first
one. In this unit we describe two methods for finding inverse functions, and we also explain that the domain of a function may need to be restricted before an inverse function can exist. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Investigation of completion rates of engineering studentsThis paper by ROSS CUTHBERT and HELEN MACGILLIVRAY discusses analysis of data on initiatives to improve retention rates on engineering degree programmes at Queensland University of Technology in Australia. The paper was presented at Delta 07 - the Southern Hemisphere Symposium on Undergraduate Mathematics Teaching. The Mathematics Access Centre at QUT offers optional extra support and examination workshops. The paper reports that students accessing these are nearly twice as likely to complete the course as the whole cohort, and half as likely to discontinue engineering.

Investigation of International Mathematics CulturesRecruitment to post-graduate mathematics programmes and to lecturer positions in mathematics departments in UK universities has become dominated by international students and staff. Although mathematics is generally regarded as ‘the universal language’, the reality is that different countries have very different cultures when it comes to the teaching and learning of mathematics. There are significant variations in the pre-university mathematical experience, in terms of the curriculum content, learning styles, levels of abstraction, and assessment methods. Even within the UK, a considerable number of pre-higher education mathematics qualifications are available and, it is not always clear what mathematics can be expected when students commence their degree programmes. With increasing numbers of international students and academic staff in UK HE, the scene is becoming more complicated. Students enter degree courses with a wide range of backgrounds and bring with them very different experiences. At the same time, academic staff, having experienced different education systems, may have some unrealistic expectations from their students.
With an HEA Teaching Development Grant (Individual Scheme 2012 -2013), this research by Aiping Xu, Coventry University has investigated the mathematical cultures of a range of the main international suppliers (of students and staff) to UK HE mathematics departments. Using semi-structured interviews and online questionnaires, personal experiences of academic staff who have studied or taught more than two educational systems have been drawn upon. Some examinations have also been studied in detail.
Limits of functionsIn this unit, we explain what it means for a function to tend to infinity,
to minus infinity, or to a real limit, as x tends to infinity or to minus
infinity. We also explain what it means for a function to tend to a real limit
as x tends to a given real number. In each case, we give an example of a
function that does not tend to a limit at all. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)
