Resource type Do We Deliver Effective Maths Support for Students?
Nilsson, Galina and Luchinskaya, Elena. (2012) Do We Deliver Effective Maths Support for Students? The European Conference on Educational Research 2012: Cadiz, 18-21 September 2012 http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hv:diva-4860. This study analyses the efficiency of maths support provision in two universities: Leeds Metropolitan University, UK and University West, Sweden and is part of an ongoing research collaboration between the two universities. The present work reflects the first stage of this research and is focused on evaluating the efficiency of the maths support in these two institutions from the perspectives of academic staff. The next stage of our research will include the analysis of this provision from the students' perspectives.

Resource type Teaching Problem-solving in Undergraduate Mathematics
The purpose of this Guide is to argue the case for putting problem-solving at the heart of a mathematics degree; for giving students a flavour, according to their capabilities, of what it is to be a mathematician; a taste for rising to a mathematical challenge and overcoming it. Its purpose is also to make it easier for colleagues who share our vision to find ways of realising it in their own teaching. This book was edited by Matthew Badger, Chris Sangwin and Trevor Hawkes.

Resource type Introduction to differentiation 8.1
This leaflet provides a rough and ready introduction to differentiation and gives some common terminology and notation. (Engineering Maths First Aid Kit 8.1) There is an accompanying podcast.
Resource type The Maths Revision Booklet as Part of a Programme of Support at University of Newcastle upon Tyne
Computer-based diagnostic testing has been used for new engineering students for some years at University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Follow-up support has been available only in some departments. In summer 2001, new students were issued (in advance or on arrival) with a â??Maths Revision Bookletâ?? covering the basic maths topics that we didnâ??t intend to teach. Following the diagnostic test, lunchtime classes were offered for six weeks, based on the booklet, for those students who wished to attend.We report on the student opinion, analysis of diagnostic and examination performance.
