Resource type Limits of functions
In 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.

Resource type Limits of sequences
In this unit, we recall what is meant by a simple sequence, and introduce infinite sequences. We explain what it means for two sequences to be the same, and what is meant by the n-th term of a sequence. We also investigate the behaviour of infinite sequences, and see that they might tend to plus or minus infinity, or to a real limit, or behave in some other way.

Resource type Linear Programming - Numbas
Questions on linear programming techniques, with interactive graphics. Numbas resources have been made available under a Creative Commons licence by Bill Foster and Christian Perfect, School of Mathematics & Statistics at Newcastle University.
Resource type Linear relationships
In many business applications, two quantities are related linearly. This means a graph of their relationship forms a straight line. This leaflet discusses one form of the mathematical equation which describes linear relationships.
Resource type Linearity rules
This leaflet explains how to differentiate the sum of two functions, and constant multiples of functions, using 'linearity rules'. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.3)
Resource type Linearity rules of integration
This leaflet explains how to integrate the sum of two functions, and constant multiples of functions, using 'linearity rules'. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.8)
Resource type Logarithms
Logarithms appear in all sorts of calculations in engineering and science, business and economics. Before the days of calculators they were used to assist in the process of multiplication by replacing the operation of multiplication by addition. Similarly, they enabled the operation of division to be replaced by subtraction. They remain important in other ways, one of which is that they provide the underlying theory of the logarithm function. This has applications in many fields, for example, the decibel scale in acoustics.
