Just the Maths (A.J.Hobson)"Just the Maths" authored by the late Tony Hobson, former Senior
Lecturer in Mathematics of the School of Mathematical and
Information Sciences at Coventry University, is a collection of separate mathematics units, in chronological
topic-order, intended for foundation level and first year
degree level in higher education where mathematics is a service discipline e.g. engineering.
Justifying the existence of Mathematics Learning Support; Measuring the effectiveness of a Mathematics Learning CentreIn this paper by Olivia Gill and John O'Donoghue, the authors look at various ways of measuring the success of the Mathematics Learning Centre at the University of Limerick.
Learning Support and students studying mathematics and statisticsFOR COPYRIGHT REASONS YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO ACCESS THIS LINK DIRECTLY. This paper, by Helen MacGillivray, Queensland University of Technology, describes learning support in mathematics and statistics in Australian universities. Analysis of data for students studying mathematics and statistics contributes to growing evidence that such learning support is fulfilling needs across the range of student capabilities, including students choosing mathematics degree programs.
It is published in the International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology:
Volume 40, Issue 4, First published 2009, Pages 455 – 472

Learning support in mathematics and statistics in Australian universities: a guide for the university sector (ALTC)This Guide is based on findings from a project funded by The Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC). After discussion on the history, nature and roles of learning support in mathematics and statistics in Australia, it synthesizes the findings of the project to provide information for the university sector on the need for, and the provision of, such support. The project was funded by the ALTC's Leadership for Excellence in Learning and Teaching Program. The title of the project was Quantitative diversity: disciplinary and cross-disciplinary mathematics and statistics support in Australian universities, and its aim was to develop national capacity and collaboration in cross-disciplinary mathematics and statistics learning support to enhance student learning and confidence.
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)

Limits of sequencesIn 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. (Mathtutor Video Tutorial)

Linear equations in one variableThis is a complete workbook introducing the solution of a single linear equation in one variable. It contains plenty of examples and exercises.
It can be used as a free-standing resource or in conjunction with the mathtutor DVD.
Linear Equations in One Variable Part 1IPOD VIDEO: In this unit we give examples of simple linear equations and show you how these can be solved. In any equation there is an unknown quantity, x say, that we are trying to find. In a linear equation this unknown quantity will appear only as a multiple of x, and not as a function of x such as x squared, x cubed, sin x and so on. Linear equations occur so frequently in the solution of other problems that a thorough understanding of them is essential.

Linear relationshipsIn 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.
LogarithmsWe use logarithms to write expressions involving powers in a different form. If you can work confidently with powers, you should have no problems handling logarithms
LogarithmsThis booklet explains what is meant by a logarithm. It states and illustrates the laws of llogarithms. It explains the standard bases 10 and e.
Finally it shows how logarithms can be used to solve certain types of equations.
LogarithmsLogarithms 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.
